We first noticed Chinese Export Silver around 1975. Although we had started as antiques dealers a couple of years before that, our focus had always been on antique English silver. However as we travelled around auction rooms and markets, we noticed that some exquisite pieces did not attract the attention they deserved. Some of the most delightful and intricate pieces of silver were being offered at a little over their metal value. We soon added "or anything with dragons or flowers" to our standard enquiries for silver, and our passion for Chinese Export Silver began.

Over the years we have acquired a large stock of high quality Chinese silver pieces. We are often asked to advise clients when they start building a collection and, as with all purchases for this purpose, it is important to buy the best that is available and not compromise. A poor quality piece will remain so and should be avoided. Chinese Export Silver is rare compared to silver from other countries, but we are pleased to be able to help collectors in any way we can.

We hope you enjoy browsing our site and if you have any enquiries please don't hesitate to contact us.
