They have a fine selection of both Asian and European furniture and other pieces.
While I respect European antiques, I'd be going Chinese, Indian and Southeast Asian if I had the money! Just because you think something is the epitome of whatever, it doesn't mean everyone else will!
To be fair, the Mainland Chinese do love their faux European style stuff, like The Venetian, the Parisian, the fake British town in China etc.
European antiques are there any in Hong Kong ?
Well I nearly am a candidate(Cornish born and bred, been here 40 years). Will I do?
Some of us know some very particular things about China. I wonder what other kinds of information we know?
I'm not an expert on this matter, but antiques aren't a big thing in HK. HK people tend to have smaller homes so they don't have space to display the antiques. HKers also tend to have disposable incomes so they can afford the latest and greatest. Also, there are lots of reproductions from the Mainland that can be had for cheap, so even less incentive to buy real antiques.
European antiques must be even more niche than Chinese antiques I guess.
