Marco Polo sølv-auksjon
In the late 13th century, Italian merchant Marco Polo set out on a 24-year voyage along the Silk Road. Upon his return to Venice, he famously eternalised his experiences in writing and brought home prestigious objects from faraway cultures — most of which were still a mystery to Europeans at the time. This auction follows his trail via remarkable silver items from the countries and cultures Marco Polo visited throughout his life. Highlights include a delicate filigree box from China, a rare Russian silver coin and a stunning Japanese charm bracelet. The auction ends 18 December.
