At ALC Antiques, we specialize in Asian art, with expertise spanning China, Japan, Tibet-Mongolia, India, Thailand-Burma, and the Middle East. From porcelain, bronzes, and scrolls to sculpture, textiles, and ceremonial objects, we carefully evaluate each piece for its craftsmanship, period, and cultural significance. Drawing on a trusted network of specialists, we provide accurate identification and fair market appraisals. Whether you present a single artifact or an entire collection, our goal is to ensure transparent value while honouring the history and artistry of each tradition.

When authenticating Asian porcelain and other antiques, several factors are considered: the underside and any marks (though many genuine pieces may be unmarked), wear and patina consistent with age, and stylistic accuracy with the era it represents. Provenance, such as receipts, ownership history, or family records, can also strengthen authenticity. While period-appropriate markings may help indicate age, many valuable antiques were never marked yet still hold significance. If you are uncertain about a piece, our specialists can provide a professional evaluation to determine its authenticity and value.
