Archaeological terracotta from China

In recent years, we have built up a unique collection of archaeological terracotta from China.

We haven't purchased this art as an investment, because we feel that art should be valued in personal appeal, what you can learn from it and discover about yourself.

Authenticity

It is common knowledge that there are a lot of authentic looking reproductions from China and Southeast Asia therefore, we have a lot of terracotta objects TL tested. A TL test is a thermo-luminescent test which is done by several companies such as, Oxford Authentication, see their site for more information about this process.

On the other hand, Jade or other kinds of hardstone are very difficult tot date, even by experts. Our jades are described and dated through study, years of experience, and mainly because we only work with trustworthy galleries where we have a history of purchasing. We guarantee our jade or other hardstone objects to be hand-carved and from the estimated period.

There are methods for testing wooden and bronze objects, however these are very expensive. Upon request we will be able to have them tested.
