Chinese Works of Art

Our auctions feature a comprehensive and carefully curated range of Chinese art including ancient bronzes, ceramics, jades, sculptures, carved wooden screens, inlaid boxes, furniture, and traditional paintings from the Neolithic period to the Qing dynasty. We also handle Modern and Contemporary Chinese paintings and artworks from the era of Chairman Mao.

A Simple and Enjoyable Selling Process
Selling at Olympia Auctions is seamless and rewarding. Visit our Kensington Olympia saleroom any Tuesday or schedule an appointment for another day. Our experts will assess and value your possessions in person and will enjoy spending time to discuss whatever you bring to show us. If you prefer, you can submit photographs for a free valuation online. We can also arrange home visits. Once you decide to sell, we do everything we can to make the experience easy and enjoyable.
