The biggest stock of Asian Antique

5.0 out of 5.0

November 10, 2008

I visit this gallery very often quite simply because it has got the largest stock of antiques from Southeast Asia and other regions in Asia. Its location is very central. The closest Tube stations are Picaddily Circus or Oxford Circus. The owner of the gallery knows his stuff and the prices are reasonable (not over-priced) as compared to other Asian Art dealers in the same area. The owner is friendly and often leaves me alone in the main room to browse through the objects. It's a totally intimidation-free experience, plus I've always been asked if I would like to have a glass of wine. I don't drink but the coffee is good enough (freshly brewed, I think). I came accross its website on the internet few months ago. I'm subscribed to its monthly newsletter. And I have to say, the webiste alone is very impressive. I feel that the website has been updated regularly and I often find new objects. As a collector in Asian antiques, I'm really pleased I found this gallery.
