Highlights from China include Huanghuali and Zitan wood furniture, porcelain from the Ming and Qing dynasties as well as the Republic period, finely carved jade, wood, bronze, and iron statues, and also scroll paintings. Japanese Meiji period porcelains and bronze figures of animals and working people are highly sought after. Tibeten and Southeast Asian items with a Buddhist influence like fine Tibetan thangkas and gilt bronze figures of bodhisattvas are very popular.
