Introduction

    Our collection started off about fifty years ago with Chinese and Japanese cloisonné. Inspired by a father who began searching for Chinese collectibles in the 1950’s and 60’s we grew up surrounded by beautiful things. Today our collection comprises among other things antique Chinese bronzes, Han, Sui, Tang and Ming pottery objects, calligraphic items, textiles as well as Burmese opium weights. And during a three years’ stay in Ghana we added to our collection African trade beads, gold weights, small Fon-bronzes, Ghanaian king’s stools, ‘linguist sticks’ and other things of interest. With the advice of Chinese and European dealer friends and an extensive library on Chinese art, our knowledge improved over a period of more than 50 years, allowing us to distinguish the right from the wrong which is important with the ever increasing number of forgeries.     Please bear in mind that we are not dealers but collectors so we don’t own a shop where you can see our collection. However we only sell genuine antiques and for that reason specified details accompany every item in the collection.
    Oxford TL-testing can be arranged but the charges are for your own account unless the test result is negative in which case we will pay the cost. To make it even easier you can return the item(s) of your choice within 10 days after receipt if you are not be happy with your purchase. The item must however be returned in its original condition, unaltered in any way. We do not cover the shipping cost. As soon as we have received the return shipment, we will refund your money. Payment is only acceptable via Paypal. Paying via Paypal gives you an extra guarantee (see Paypal guarantee details). However we charge 2,5% of the sales amount as partial compensation for the Paypal commission. We will supply you with the actual (Signed for) postage cost and we will also email you photos of the way we have packed your purchase. Registered shipping cost are for your account but packing cost and delivery to the post office will not be charged.     Last but not least we hope that you will enjoy looking at our website which does not only contain some real museum treasures but also supplies useful information about each object. Searching for a particular item is easy. Just use the four digit number of that item in QUICK FIND.

Buyer: gyassociates (1831)

In all my years of buying hats on eBay, I don’t think that I have ever met such a meticulous and conscientious seller. The communication was great. He even sent me photos of each step of the packaging process as he packed up the hat that I bought from him. The item arrived weeks before the projected delivery date and the packaging was incredible. The hat is as advertised and I’m very happy with this purchase. Would definitely purchase items from him again
