Subject:The endless supplies of rare treasures: Tianwang and Chicken blood stone carvings; Huanghuali and zitan brush pots
Posted By: kk Wed, Dec 31, 2008 IP: 76.203.124.44 In this past year, I have seen a lot of tianwang and chicken blood stone cravings, large Huanghuali and zitan brushes pots on the US market. Just a few years back, these are very rare finds! But now they show up in small auction houses, antique shops� They often sold for a few hundreds dollars, way below the market value from the major auction houses. |
