ASIAN ANTIQUES

Asian Antiques from our antiques mall in Fort Myers, Florida at Gannon's Antiques & Art. Below you will find some of the Asian Antiques we have been able to bring into our antiques mall recently. We also buy Asian Antiques and offer free antiques appraisals. If we can help you with your Asian Antiques please contact us.

These are rare and beautiful antique Chinese porcelain Famille Rose tea caddies. 

They have hand-painted enamel decorations on all sides featuring pretty flowers and butterflies.

 It is hard to find a matched pair with no damage! 

They retain their original porcelain lids and have no cracks or chips. 

The bottom of each bear the red overglaze China mark which was used between 1890 (when the McKinley Tarrif Act was imposed requiring the country of origin marked on all goods) and around 1911 when "Made In" had to be added to the name of the country of origin. 
You can also see our page Asian Antiques for more of the pieces from our antiques mall.

Antique Chinese Carved Jade Scholars Mountain

We just acquired this antique Chinese sculpture from a local estate. It's an awesome jade boulder that's been gently carved into a Jade Mountain. Chinese scholars used these as desktop items to give them inspiration for their poetry, painting and calligraphy. Looking at the beautiful green variations of the sacred stone, the imagination can take you to lots of places whether it's a waterfall, forest or just serenity. Sitting in the custom carved wooden stand the entire piece measures 14 inches tall. It is in very good condition with no cracks, chips nor repairs. This Asian Jade carving shows off the natural beauty of the stone. It also would look great as a modern art piece of sculpture!
