Ex The late Sir Roger Moss OBE collection. Property of a Bristol, UK, gentleman.
The late C. Roger Moss OBE was a renowned art collector who, throughout the years, thanks to his determination and enthusiasm, was able to create an outstanding collection of artworks, most prominently from China and the Orient. His high-profile career included impactful tenures as Finance Director of British Airways and latterly of the Mass Transit Railway Corporation in Hong Kong. Counting some of the world's most respected curators, collectors and artists amongst his friends, Roger loved to seek out unusual and challenging finds and to share his passion for those historic and cultural objects with others, regularly giving talks on 'Collecting and the Collector'. President of the Oriental Ceramic Society: 'Many OCS members enjoyed 'foraging' with Roger in their own quest for the 'perfect treasure'. His deep intellect and emotional sensitivity are reflected in the art which he purchased and the sale of his artworks which now allows others to further enjoy the expression of beauty and form.'
