See reply to recent query at link.

If seems too good to be true, probably is not good.

There ain't no such thing as a free lunch (TANSTAAFL).

One man's fabulous USD$1500 antique fire screen is another man's new USD$75 item from Pier1Imports.

Good luck,
Cal

No, this isn`t a real antique & has nothing to do with the Tang dynasty.

Hi Violet, save your money for some books or used Sotheby/Christies catalogs and spend some time looking at museum objects online before you buy anything. In my view this object is virtually new, as are many of the other objects this seller is offering as antiques. Learn about what you are looking at before you buy. There is virtually ZERO chance that you will find a treasure that no one else has noticed until you do this. Passion is good, but impulsivity is expensive.
