All serious fans of Chinese antiques eventually end up here. One of the largest and most knowledgeable purveyors of antiques in Hong Kong, Victor Choi began collecting Chinese antiques in the 1970s, traveling throughout China from province to province and to all the major cities. He shares his expertise in three books: Collecting Chinese Antiquities in Hong Kong (a must for both the novice and the experienced buyer), Horses for Eternity, and Antiquities through the Ages, which you can purchase in his shop.
Choi has also given lectures on Chinese antiques in the HKTB’s Meet the People program. With another gallery in New York, he carries Neolithic pottery, three-color glazed pottery horses from the Tang dynasty, Ming porcelains, bronzes, jade, woodcarvings, snuff bottles, calligraphy, paintings, brush pots, stone carvings, and more, and also guarantees authenticity for all items he sells. According to Choi, prices for antiques are a fourth of what they’d fetch in New York. He’s open Monday through Saturday from 10am to 6pm.
