How do I get to Beijing by plane?
Too much easier to arrive at Beijing
by plane. our warehouse and showroom is nearly 3 hours way from Airport by driving.
How do I get the cheapest plane ticket?
Usually the cheapest flights
are still to be found in the largest local Travel section of the Sunday paper,
shop around as prices vary widely.
How do we make hotel and travel arrangements in China?
The arrangements
made really depends on the needs of the customer. We can make arrangements in
Beijing and Shanghai for clean, safe, cheap and convenient hotels. Alternatively
it is also quite convenient nowadays to make your own arrangements over the internet.
How can we trust you?
It depends on how well you know us. That is why
we suggest a visit for first time buyers. It is wise to be cautious with anyone
you meet over the internet. We have an excellent reputation and have managed to
keep all but a couple of customers happy over the years (some people are never
happy). In some cases we will give out references if an order seems to get going
well, but this has been abused by some people we contacted over the internet.
We usually suggest a phone call early on in the process in order to get to know
each other a bit better.
How do you know the age of the pieces you have?
It takes a lot of time
and experience. We have over foury workers and craftsmen that know their wood
and furniture. It helps a lot that we source our goods directly from the country.
Even for us we are usually very cautious with porcelain and bronze pieces as there
are 'lots' of reproductions out there. We are quite confident of the originality
of our antiques but also carry lots of "good' reproductions. All in all we
recommend caution when doing business in China in general, and even more so in
the 'antique' trade, many shops are not legitimate.
Do you issue 'Authenticity Certificates'?
There are many groups in
China that will issue authenticity certificates and put wax seals on pieces. They
are not worth the paper they are printed on unless you need it for import duty
reductions. We can obtain them when necessary.
Colours?
We can refurbish pieces in many different colours. Though
the Chinese never had yellow, blue, green, ect. colours we have had a strong demand
for pieces finished in these colours.
What
is the difference between antiques, fakes, reproductions, art, refurbishing, modifications
etc.???
antiques: Antique are original old pieces reproductions: Reproductions
are reproductions based on pieces and styles that used to exsite fakes: A fake
is when you call a reproduction an antique refurbishing: The art of taking an
old worn out piece of furniture etc. and restoring it to a proper and usable condition
modification: When an antique is modified into something else. Common examples
would be an eight god dinner table into a coffee table or making cabinets out
of old windows and carvings etc.
