Mainland art collection cultural relics investment not established a complete system.
Auction company is now the mainland is too much. This stage of development the industry with the collection of a relationship, we are after all only 20 years of development experience. There are already several good reputable auction company, they slowly accumulated reputation and credibility, it takes time. Small auction company must be more regulated market slowly eliminated. The better the future will be good, bad worse, and slowly form a rational and stable trade rules.
West has a collection of more than 300 years mature market management experience, I personally appreciate the British way of collection of market norms. Not to say that there is no fake in the UK, but the classification is very clear. Now in China, whether you are in the Panjiayuan or Antique, even in the auction house, buy things can not determine the true and false.
The collection is divided into three levels of the UK market, the lowest level is the flea market, where only sell second-hand, whether true or false, prices are between £ 3 to £ 5; good part, into the equivalent of our "antique City, "the place where about 80% are the real thing, of course, the price is high, this is the second level; the highest level is the antique shops, antique dealer, or more than a big open-known collectors, most of them have hundred years of history, is the brand name stores. Which sell things, many of which are the royal family supplies, and some at the door there is the crown logo. This is inside the collection, put out may be less than 20, but the pieces are fine, the price is higher than the auction house. Here is unlikely Maidaojiahuo, the clerk or the manager will give you personally to explain that these people or scholars, or is the collector himself. Therefore, some collectors do not go in the UK auction, the collection of all things entrusted to the antique handed down.
So far, China has not a real antique shop, which requires experience, connections, not three to five million of the funds, not circle the fame and reputation mix is made impossible. Only by good will to open a good Chinese collectors shop, in fact, Liulichang in Beijing, Nanjing Qinhuai already had this glorious days of prosperity, just as if we have forgotten.
