Through these objects, porcelain emerges not merely as ornament but as a reflection of empire and identity. Drawn entirely from the celebrated collection of A La Vieille Russie, the works discussed reveal the intersection of artistry and authority at the heart of imperial culture. </p><p><br></p><p>The pieces featured in the lecture will be offered in a dedicated sale on December 16.</p>","name":"Auctions","organization_type_id":"3","district_id":"1","telephone":"+13122607200","website":"https://www.ha.com","email":"Chicago@HA.com","hours":"","location":"222 W.
