The erudite collection of Philip Hewat-Jaboor (1953-2022), who was chairman of the Masterpiece Art Fair, will offer objects of antiquity and furniture at Christie's in London on February 8.

The auction features important collectibles: An old-style connoisseur, Hewat-Jaboor had a particular passion for porphyry and the auction will offer a notable collection headed by early 19th-century neoclassical vases.
