A Chronic Collector of Asian Antiques, Carpets and Other Collectible Stuff

I am an incurable collector. I have always been this way. This site helps me show and sell some of what I have.

I prefer to collect things that have not been extensively repaired, repainted, or over-polished. Polish, coatings, and extensive repairs make it very difficult to authenticate something. Except where indicated, the items on this site are original and without major repair, unless the structure of the item was in jeopardy.

Many collectors—especially those who collect Chinese furniture—prefer the patina, tea stains, cracks, and imperfections that contribute to the history of an object. I am one of those collectors. If something seems a bit worn, that is how I found it when I bought it from the original owner or seller.

If you are interested in purchasing, learning more about, or commenting on anything in my collection, please contact me at the email address in the blue footer at the bottom of this page. I am happy to send photographs of items of interest. Please note that all material here is copyrighted © and may be used only with my permission.
