How to sell your Chinese antiques?
Expertise
Perhaps you are a new collector of Asian antiques, or perhaps you have been put in charge of managing a departed loved one’s estate. In any case, it would be beneficial to consult with a skilled appraiser to determine the value of your pieces. The value of Chinese and Asian antiques rests on a variety of factors such as age, condition, intricacy of detail, and materials used. Determining the value of a piece may be a more nuanced process than one might realize; occasionally, it’s even counter-intuitive. For example, a collector may not be aware that the age of a Chinese porcelain piece can be determined by the colors used in its manufacture, or that excessive signs of aging may in fact be indicative of a forgery. Incidentally, even certain kinds of forgeries themselves may be valuable. SDLES offers over 40 years of combined experience and an accredited appraiser to help you determine the value of your pieces as accurately as possible.
