From Crain’s Detroit Business –
It’s not uncommon for people to bring items to Detroit auction house DuMouchelle Art Galleries Co. to be appraised.
But it isn’t every day that someone brings in a rare early Chinese, gilded bronze Luohan statue of a Buddhist Arhat from the 13th century, said Bob DuMouchelle, general manager and auctioneer. That’s what happened last month when a Macomb County resident brought in the statue that had been sitting in his garage for years.
