Welcome to our website! Daphne and I have been collecting and dealing in Oriental Porcelain for more than twenty five years and at our gallery on London's famous Kings Road we specialise in Chinese and Japanese wares dating from the 17th Century to the 19th Century.

Or here for a low resolution We travel the world to acquire fine pieces for our collection but we like to think that we have good things of all price levels and we welcome both the serious collector and the amateur enthusiast. Our stock is large and covers a wide range of Oriental antique porcelain so we are a major source for decorators and interior designers. We are well known for our great selection of Blue and White porcelain which includes everything from pairs of Temple Jars and Dinner Services through to small exquisite 17th century Kangxi vases and dishes. Our selection of Blue and White Canton and Fitzhugh is probably the best outside the U.S. and we also have a wide selection of Dutch Delft in both Blue and White and Polychrome from all periods. In Famille Rose we stock a superb range of vases, plates, tureens and especially animal figures - cats elephants, horses and cockerels - a whole menagerie of pieces!

I have always liked fine Rose Mandarin porcelain and again we have many unusual pieces - bough pots, tureens and punchbowls - but also many pairs of vases some of which are ideal for lamping. Many collectors, especially in the U.S., have recently become interested in the fine products of the Samson Factory in Paris and we have a whole collection of these wares in the oriental style - Imari, Famille Rose and Armorial. Since the publication in the August 2000 edition of "Architectural Digest" recommending our shop as one of the best sources for decorators in London we have attracted many of America's top flight Interior Designers searching for large decorative pieces of porcelain and the sets of lovely Chinese Export Water-Colours of colourful flowers, birds and butterflies which we stock.
We exhibit at the highly prestigious Olympia Fine Art and Antiques Fairs in both June and November and we would be delighted to send free tickets to you if you will supply us with your details. Well, enough about us - just take a look at the site which contains just a small cross-section of our stock and e-mail or phone us if you see pieces that you like or if you would like us to send you more pictures.
