During this time we have assisted thousands of  people with evaluating and selling their collections. Our website and blog will go over the most important things to know about your antiques and fine art. We will also let you know about the New York city auction highlights.

 

 

NYC Asia Week March 13th-21st 2015

Asia week is right around the corner. Starting in mid march New York City will be home to some of the most beautiful Asian antiques in the world. Artwork from China, Japan, India, Southeast Asia and Korea will be displayed. Manhattan auctions, museums and galleries will be showcasing their best items. New York will be welcoming thousands of visitors from Asia. These visitors hope to see some great examples of Asian art and antiquities. Some will be in town to browse, but many are coming to purchase.

The strongest markets in past years have been Chinese, Southeast Asian and India. These markets are expected to do well once again. However, many Asian art specialists say the markets aren't quite as strong as they were just a couple of years ago. It will be interesting to see how the auctions do in 2015. The main auctions participating in Asia week are Sotheby's, Christie's, Doyle, Bonhams and Igavel.

Asian antique dealers and gallery owners are doing their best to acquire fine examples of Chinese and Southeast Asian art before Asia Week. If you are looking to sell Asian goods, now is a great time to do so. Dealers tend to pay top dollar right before Asia Week. They need to be sure they have enough of the appropriate merchandise to make our Asian collectors happy. If you need a few recommendations of competitive Asian art buyers, let us know. We are happy to help.

Asia Week NYC- March 2014

Asia week is here once again. The week will begin on March 14th and end on March 22nd. The entire week is dedicated to Asian art. Multiple auctions, dealers and museums all around NYC will be focusing on Asia. The major auction houses that will be having Asian sales will be Sotheby's, Christie's, Bonhams, Doyle and Igavel. Some of the many sales categories will be Chinese art, Japanese Art, Indian Himalayan and Southeast Asian Art. Jade, porcelain and bronzes are expected to bring big bucks this year at auction. Many auction lots are estimates at over a 1/2 a million dollars. Some of the extremely rare lots may even bring over a million dollars.

A great number of International buyers will be in town for the sales. People will be visiting from all around the world to buy the rare antique Asian items. However, China seems to be the country that has the buyers with the deepest pockets. It will be very interesting to find out if the Asian market is still as strong as it has been.

This fantastic week is not just about auctions sales. It is also about educating people on Asian art and its history. You can see multiple lectures and displays all over the city.
