Heffel is Canada’s national auction house, and our Asian Art department handles a diverse range of artifacts from China, Japan, Korea, India, the Himalayan region and Southeast Asia. We offer two major specialty auctions of Asian art each year during the spring and fall seasons, and holds previews in our exhibition galleries across the country. Heffel covers numerous Asian art categories including ceramics, porcelain, jade carvings, furniture, religious objects, woodblock prints, and scroll paintings, from the Neolithic Period to the 20th Century.

We are thrilled to collaborate with Toronto-based expert Anthony Wu, one of Canada's most respected authorities on Asian art and antiques. Anthony’s expertise is unparalleled, and we are honoured to be working with him to grow this important category at Heffel and further expand our global service offerings. More recently, April Yin has joined the Asian art department where her fluency in Mandarin and specialization with Chinese scroll paintings will be beneficial to all levels of collectors and connoisseurs.

With offices across Canada in Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa and Calgary, Heffel not only has an extensive Canadian collector database, but also a strong following of major international collectors, galleries and institutions.
