Discover the Elegance of Ancient Asian and European Worlds.

Dear old friends, new friends, and those who we hope will become friends,

TK Asian Antiquities is adding a "new" feature to its business model. For several years now, many people have gently berated us for not keeping a website that stayed current or even one that was particularly indicative of our skills and strengths. I must admit that the site did not even have a truly representative sampling of the variety of our vast inventory. However many years ago, we did publish a newsletter with some regularity. Unfortunately, as enjoyable as that was for me (and we did have excellent responses), the time and cumbersome nature of printing and mailing caused us to terminate the newsletter. Well, gentle readers, we have decided to update our website with considerably larger representations of our collections. And I have decided to make the changes in a newsletter form!

Rather than inundating everyone with thousands of pieces at one time, we are going to present smaller yet representative selections of artifacts in relatively narrow fields every few weeks. While not being accompanied by in-depth scholarship, we will try to provide enough information in the introductions and and descriptions for the reader to be conversant enough with each subject to be comfortable with decisions relative to that field. For those who wish to go deeper, we will be glad to assist in that pursuit.
