The inaugural auction highlights the breadth and scale of Philippine artistic practice from the late 19th century to the present through paintings, drawings, and sculpture.

A special auction will also introduce other collection categories at Salcedo Auctions: fine jewelry, decorative arts and collectible accessories.

Highlights of the sale include an exceptional and rare oil on wood by the old master Justiniano Asuncion, a drawing by Dionisio de Castro, only the fourth known authenticated work by the artist in existence (the other three being in the collections of the BSP, Dr. Eleuterio Pascual and Danny Dolor), an important sculpture by Isabelo Tampinco, and an oil on canvas painting by Ronald Ventura – the only recent work by the artist of this size available in the Philippines – exclusively offered through Salcedo Auctions.

The auction concludes with spectacular estate jewelry, including a platinum 10.12 carat diamond ring and a 22.57 carat emerald and diamond Edwardian-style brooch set in 18k white gold, award-winning pieces by Jul Dizon, and vintage Hermès bags.
