Valuation of antiques- asian bronzes -in Sydney ?
My grandmother has left me two unusual pieces sorry no photos
ne is a very realistic cast blackbird which balances on a tree base -detachable it is life sized and seems solid 45 cms black in colour
:second a vase with dragons breaking through the surface of the vase swirled around from top to bottom tipped with gold- bronze vase 35-40 cm . Both Chinese I think..?
I am thinking of trying the Art Gallery of NSW to get some kind of contact ? Wheres Antiques Roadshow when you need them !!!???Does anyone know of an antique dealer who specialises in Asian items in Sydney?
I agree. Take them to a museum.
I would, if I were you... In the meantime, insure them for about $5,000.00 to $8,000.00 each. If they are indeed bronze and Japanese, lifesize and in good condition? and you are sure they are old? They are worth at least that much and I don't even have to see them to know that...
Look for chop marks or makers signatures and bring them to an asian art specialist or a museum right away. Sounds like you have yourself a treasure!
I envy you! I collect Asian artifacts and objects. Let me know if you are interested in selling them when you find out!
US $717.00
