Hi Scott & Kristin,

I received the beautiful Antique Silver Hairpin at noon today. It is absolutely exquisite - I just love it. It looked beautiful to me on your site - but pictures cannot do justice to the aesthetic beauty of this fine piece of jewelry. It looks lovely, wonderful workmanship & feels so silky in my hand. It is a work of art. When my mister saw it he said over and over "oh, this is so beautiful..." I find your site very user friendly & informative & both of you really easy to deal with-thank you.:-) The hairpin arrived quickly & was very well packaged. You guys have outstanding customer service-answering emails promptly & clearly you are well informed in your area of expertise. I have also learned a lot from the information on your site. I look forward to buying from you again & again & again & will recommend you to friends with no hesitation. Doing business with you has been a pleasant experience & I look forward to the next one. Thank you again.

Hi Kirstin & Scott,

We'd like to let you know that the Naga armbands did arrive at my parent's home.

They are indeed very beautiful. We are very happy with this set. The photo did also arrive in good order. We thank you very much for taking care of the shipment; it was all very well packed and it was very handy to be able to track.

Kind Regards,

Hi Scott & Kristin,

The Buddha image arrived safe & well on Wednesday morning! Gee, it's taken a few days to let you know as I just can't stop admiring it. Wow, it certainly is a magnificent sculpture... and it is taller than I expected which is great. The patina that the image has is quite incredible, a truly beautiful and unique piece of art... It's very pleasing to the eye indeed. I can tell you now that I'm very, very happy with this. A privilege to be the custodian for the next 40 years! The packaging was excellent. It took me 20 minutes to carefully unwrap it, so I can see the effort that went into packaging it up. Strapping on the box was great too as there was no handling damage to the package at all. The box wasn't even marked so it was handled with care. Good work all round. As I said previously I'll keep an eye on your site for any interesting things you may have. And as always it's been a real pleasure to buy from you guys and I really look forward to the next one, whatever that may be.

Kind Regards,

James, NSW, Australia, July 2011

Well… Good news! The Buddha image has arrived and is brilliant!!! Wow it’s hard to believe I’m custodian of such a wonderful unique image! It definitely does have a presence and good vibe surrounding it. So I’m very, very pleased. Thank You!!! I’m very appreciative for all you’ve done. It has been a pleasure all round to buy this wonderful image from you and I hope to visit your website in the not too distant future and do it all again!

The two Chin weavings I received the other day are incredibly beautiful and well made. Really good work. I may order some more. This is the quality I want our Chin backstrap weavers from the Chin Backstrap Weaving Project to produce. I am a huge fan of your gallery and endeavour!

I bought an antique Lanna style vase from you and have received it. I am very happy with it and would like to ask if you ever come across any other ceramic pieces like this with a green underglaze again could you please contact me. I am very interested in buying more like this. Thanks.

Dear Kristin,
I received a few days ago your parcel. The fabric is very nice. I'm collecting old traditional minority dresses, so in case you have something interesting let me know. From the Lahu (na-she leh-nyi) I have no costume and it looks interesting, especially those with round silver buckles. Thank you and best regards.

Hi Kristin,

I have just received the Bodhi tree painting. It arrived on Friday, which was very quick! Thank you so much - it’s really beautiful and thank you for the little leaf as well. I hope you have a lovely Christmas and New Year period, and thanks again for the beautiful painting. Kind Regards,

Hi Kristin

I got the Cambodian bronze statue today thanks. I think it’s nicer in person than in the photos. The silk arrived here a couple of days ago. Thanks for another lovely item as usual.

Kathy, NSW, Australia, November, 2008

 

Wow, thank you so much. I am actually going to frame the painting and give it as a gift to my boyfriend for Christmas. He’ll really love it, and I can get another I suppose some day. Thanks again for the painting, its absolutely beautiful, and I assume carries an amazing energy.

Kristin, MA, United States, November 2008

Hi Scott
I got the pipe today. I’d like to thank you for the nice item to add to our collection - now I can get rid of the ugly plastic yellow one that fits badly into the museum.

Joergen, Denmark, July 2008

 

Hi Scott
20 tical weight arrived yesterday and I am very happy with it. Perfect fit with the other chinthe lions I have acquired mostly from Bangkok, Bali and elsewhere. I have a couple of the elephant weights too and would be interested in some more but they rarely seem to turn up. I'll keep an eye on your web site. Best wishes

Hi Scott,

The monk was waiting for me when I got back from our journey. Really like him. Yes, I’d be interested in the Buddha and possibly the three monks also. I like the poppy hair pin too, great design. Wishing you a good day.

Brian,CT, United States, May, 2008

 

The oil painting is beautiful and I am thrilled to own it…I love Burmese art…thank you for a very easy transaction. The painting is wonderful. Please let me know when you have more original Burmese art.

Barbara, NC, United States, January 2008

 

Dear Kristin,

The two textiles arrived today and I'm very happy with them.  The silk with the tapestry weave band on it is well woven and subtle. I understand that there aren't too many weavers who still do the tapestry work in Laos today…though I have seen the odd wonderful example in the past. The other longer textile will go straight up on my wall once the hanger gets here and should be beautiful. Thank you also for the extra silk scarf and the elephant cards. All the other items are now received and they are delightful. I love the spirit house.

Kathy, Canada, January 2008

 

Dear Scott,

Thanks for the detailed response and the photos. Your organization appears very well administered and obviously taken seriously and trusted. I like your attitude and as always it is a pleasure to deal with you. It’s not the last time we make a nice deal, but now I want you to get me something extraordinary, something like the hairpin with poppies is really great.

Joergen, Denmark, February 2008

 

The Hmong opium poppy hair pin is very good!! Very fast shipment. Thank you and Happy New Year.!

Agostino, Italy, January 2008

 

Kristin and Scott,

Thank you so much…she's an exquisite piece of beautiful Khmer craftsmanship. She looks even more beautiful in the flesh than I imagined. She takes pride of place on my mantle, the centrepiece, of course. Thanks again for looking after me on price and information. Your service and integrity is top rate. I'm looking forward to watching out for new items on your website. I've got no doubt that there'll be plenty there to tempt me and I'm sure we'll renew our business acquaintance again some time soon!   

Peter, VIC, Australia, February 2008

 

Dear Scott, Today I received your package with the hill tribe pipe...actually some days earlier than I had expected. Thank you very much for your fast shipment. The pipe is very nice and also very beautiful. I'm looking forward to seeing more pipes in your gallery. Best regards.
