Japanese Art
Coram James values Japanese works of art for insurance, probate, divorce and sale, from netsuke to complete collections.
Our Japanese art specialist trained at Phillips, where he ran the Asian art department, and was later a director of Bonhams.

Signature, school and condition are central to value. Most items containing ivory can no longer be sold under the Ivory Act 2018, though some older pieces qualify for exemptions, and we advise on what can and cannot be sold.
