Welcome to 33dynasties.com.

This website has come into being as a result of my lifelong passion for Asian culture and, in particular, Chinese antiquities. Over the years, I have been able to nurture a number of reliable sources around the world for top quality artifacts. So it was perhaps inevitable that I would one day make the leap from being a collector to selling items privately from my New York apartment and, on occasion, through Internet auction sites.

That was three years ago.

Now, in an effort to reach a wider and more discerning clientele, I have created 33dynasties.com.

My particular areas of interest lie in Sung Ceramics, Buddhist Sculpture and Scholar's Objects, which are perhaps the fields most strongly represented in the 33dynasties.com catalog. But our inventory is not by any means restricted exclusively to those areas. Within the catalog, you will find remarkable artifacts in many other categories of Chinese art and from many periods of the country's history.

And by offering these artifacts primarily through the Internet and thus avoiding high overheads, we are able to present those pieces to you - pieces that are of comparable quality to those offered by any of the top dealers around the world - at highly competitive prices.

I take great pride in what I do and try to offer only genuine, high quality artifacts through 33dynasties.com. If I have any doubt whatsoever about the authenticity of a particular piece, I will endeavor to get second and third opinions or, where necessary, to have it tested. I am able to call upon the expertise of some of the top authorities in the field, who are unfailingly generous with their time, knowledge and experience. If, after all avenues of inquiry have been exhausted, I still have any doubts regarding the item in question, these will be clearly indicated in the catalog text.

Everything that 33dynasties.com offers for sale is fully guaranteed. You can return any item you purchase within 30 days for any reason for a full refund less shipping charges. If jade items are returned, we will, in addition, include a refund on shipping. We also offer an unconditional lifetime guarantee that anything we sell is exactly as it has been represented.

If you are in the New York area and would like to see any of the pieces displayed on this website, please note that the 33dynasties.com gallery is open by appointment. Otherwise, feel free to make inquiries about any item via e-mail, fax or telephone. If there is an artifact in which you have interest but find the digital images of insufficient clarity, please contact us and we will send you a high resolution photograph of the piece in question.

While I endeavor to personally answer every enquiry at the earliest opportunity, it can sometimes happen that I am travelling the world looking for great things to offer to you. Rest assured that I will contact you as soon as I possibly can. Information about my travel itinerary is always kept up to date in the Notes section of the website, which also offers guidance on where in the catalog to find pieces of special significance.

I hope that you enjoy exploring the 33dynasties.com catalog and look forward to hearing from you.
