European Ethnic Styles
What's the
Ethnic style of Europe, the continent with the longest history
of a developed/modern world?
Well, that would bring us in first place to the antiques of the 15th to 20th
century. There lay the foundations of the modern furniture, that lead to
various "ethnic" styles, Italian somehow different than British, French
somehow different than Scandinavian, etc ...
So we're talking about Western Antiques, mainly. But also in the
reproduction, colonial and the modern
designs we can recognize the ethnic origins of the various European cultures,
see below for that.

We want to be THE place where
Chinese buy European Antiques. But we've also
realized that for ex. our American buyers added a piece or 3 of nice French
armoires to their container of Chinese antiques.
The crisis opened opportunities to invest in Western Antiques. And the
Chinese intelligently understood that. Some see it as the import/export
business of antiques has been inversed, and that it is in some way true.
While we, with Asian Home Deco, were selling FCL's of high end Chinese
antiques to mainly the "West", it are now Chinese buying some marvelous
pieces from European dealers who are eager to keep their business running.
We've partnered up with Flanagans, the number one antique dealer in
Ireland. You can read all about it here: High End Antiques from Ireland in
China.
We receive offers almost every week, from dealer in Europe who beg us to
sell their stock in China ... but we're careful who we do business with and
work upon customer/Chinese buyer's request, then go sourcing for the right
items via agents in Spain, France, Belgium, Holland or Germany.
(if you are an antique dealer who has items to sell on the Chinese
market, then contact us for more
info)
