  • May I bring a loupe to the preview? And is the foot of this meiping original or later?

How to bid

A paddle and a deposit come first; room, telephone and online bids run in the same sale, and the hammer falls to the highest bid that clears the reserve. The premium is charged in bands on the hammer price, and the rates for that sale are printed in the footer of every catalogue page.

How to consign

Six photographs start it: front and back, rim and foot, the damage close up, one frame with a ruler, and we answer in three working days. Once the object is in hand we give an estimate band and a plain opinion on whether to offer it; nothing enters the catalogue until both sides agree. Consignment carries no fee.

Where we are

Beijing runs the two seasonal sales and the catalogue desk, Shanghai the previews, specialist sessions and meetings with collectors, Hong Kong the overseas accounts, shipping and settlement. All three work from the same consignment and catalogue records.

Collection and shipping

A release note is issued once hammer and premium are settled; works on paper take three working days to re-check before leaving, large objects five. Collect in person or ask us to pack and ship - packing and insurance are listed on separate lines of the invoice.
