NEW YORK, NY.- Lark Mason, founder and president of Lark Mason Associates, has announced that more than 500 lots of important Asian art will be up for bidding on iGavelauctions.com in a series of online sales that goes live on April 3 and close on April 17. The outstanding works of art span 3,000 years of material, from the Western Zhou Dynasty to the late Qing Dynasty. A selection of works are currently on view at the iGavel Auctions salesroom at 227 East 120th Street.

The sale of Asian works of art includes an impressive array of Chinese jade carvings, ancient bronzes, and works from the Qing Dynasty and earlier. Of particular note are several collections formed during the post World War II period, including an impressively large Chinese bronze censer embellished with gold and with silver-wire inlaid Shou symbols, Buddhist lions and auspicious symbols.

Says Lark Mason: "Rarely do so many works from collections formed at an early date enter the marketplace. We are delighted to present over 500 lots, which will be on view during Asia Week New York, and will be shown by appointment only in our New Braunfels, Texas salesroom."

The second sale of Asian, Ancient and Ethnographic works of art from iGavel Associate sellers will take place on April 5th to 19th.
