Most of the Gallery's Straits Chinese items are not sourced from Southeast Asia but from the United Kingdom. Many such objects came to the UK
during the colonial period and have been in the UK since. This provenance helps to guard against fakes. It also means that they are new to the
Southeast Asian antique market. We believe our prices are competitive with dealers and galleries in Singapore and Malaysia even allowing for
shipping.
We frequently send objects to collectors in Singapore and Malaysia. Usually we use Federal Express for this. Items are sent with full insurance and
with a tracking number so that their progress can be tracked. Items generally reach our customers in Southeast Asia within a few days. Please e-mail
for prices and other information. And remember, clicking on any image will bring up more images and information.
