Specialists in Chinese Works of Art
For more than two decades, Mark Powley Antiques has specialised in exceptional Chinese works of art, offering carefully selected ceramics, glass, jade, textiles and scholar’s objects to collectors, institutions and interior designers worldwide.
More Than Twenty Years of Experience
Every object is chosen for its authenticity, quality, rarity and historical significance. Rather than offering a large inventory, we present a carefully curated collection of works distinguished by craftsmanship, condition and provenance.
Carefully Selected
Every object is thoroughly researched before it is offered for sale. Wherever possible, we provide documented provenance, published references and comparisons with museum and auction examples, enabling collectors to buy with confidence.
Uncompromising Provenance
Whether acquiring a single object or building an important collection, every client receives knowledgeable, discreet and personal service. We work closely with collectors to source exceptional works of art and provide honest advice based on experience rather than salesmanship.
Personal Service
Our reputation has been built over more than twenty years through integrity, scholarship and a commitment to authenticity. We believe every object should have lasting historical, artistic and cultural significance.
