And then there is the magic of the old times: Besides being traders and designers, we are also explorers. Travelling through China and Indonesia for 20 years, we have learned a lot about the culture, traditions, symbolism and customs and beliefs and we like to share that with you. On various subjects you will find some interesting information. We buy our antiques in China, Indonesia and Tibet, enabling us to offer our clients an interesting variety of styles. This is our passion and we choose with great care. It is our policy to do all the buying personally and being professional buyers we are familiar with the Western taste for furniture and interior design. Asian pieces add a very special touch to any style interior. We are especially careful to choose items of good quality. We find pottery and porcelain, textiles and jewellery, furniture, statues and many other rare and beautiful collectors items. Also see: Tibetan Treasures™: beautiful decorative pieces from Tibet.
