<p>[QUOTE=&quot;moontymes, post: 44322, member: 41&quot;]Well, I&#039;m sure you&#039;ll come out okay on it all Nuff. How old is that religious painting? It&#039;s very nice and looks like an interesting one!</p><p>You know, it&#039;s funny, I was talking with a colleague in the antiques industry the other day and he told me that now more than ever, auction houses are seeing that the Chinese market is slowing for all but the very best pieces. Jade is still strong, but they are not putting up with some of the middling-to-good pieces they were buying up like hotcakes a few years ago, and those items are going completely unsold. I found that interesting, and made a mental note to personally try to be a little bit more discerning, and also to try to focus more on art and other antiques in the marketplace. I&#039;m also finding that Japanese items are just dead in the water.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
