Two Chinese antiques that have attracted controversy were sold Wednesday night for 14 million euros (17.92 million dollars) each to anonymous telephone buyer at the sale by Christie’s collection of Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Berge at the Grand Palais in Paris.

sculptures in bronze, the head of a rat and a rabbit head, were stolen by the Anglo-French forces in the nineteenth century, when the invaders burned the royal garden Yuanmingyuan Beijing.

The Tribunal de Grande Instance de Paris ruled against stopping the sale of two bronze Monday, February 23, and the Association for the Protection of Chinese Art in Europe (APAC) has been ordered to pay compensation to the accused party.

Xiaohong Ren, APACE lawyer, told Xinhua that he was “very important” to file the complaint. “We hope to arouse public attention in Europe on the fate of many works of Chinese art that were stolen in the past, to protect and collect these relics,” said Mme.Ren.

The Chinese government has formally requested Tuesday, February 24 canceling the auction of the two bronzes. “The Heritage Administration worship of the state had officially informed the seller that it opposes the auction, asking clear its cancellation,” said Ma Chaoxu, spokesman of Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs at a press conference.

Two bronze sculptures are part of the art collection of famous fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent. So far, 5 of the 12 animal heads in bronze have been returned to China, while the fate of others remains unknown 5.

In a letter sent to local media yesterday, Christie’s announced that the auction house values its relations with the Chinese government and hopes to continue developing its activities in China, but hopes that the bronze might return to China through auction.

The sale has continued to infuriate the Chinese within the country and abroad.
