Description

To the Chinese, the carp is a symbol of success and plenty. This stylish goldfish seems to swim towards us, providing a splash of color in the center of ornately painted gold borders. Perhaps inspired by a Baroque silver or faience shape, this platter was probably made for the Portuguese market. This platter has been reproduced by permission of the Dallas Museum of Art, Wendy Reeves Collection. (China, circa 1750-1760)

Our Core Values

More than 50 years ago, our founder, Art Arbutine, began offering rare coins at select shows and markets, while Pat Arbutine, Art's wife, cultivated a discerning eye for estate silver. From these humble beginnings, a legacy was born—rooted in a commitment to honesty, integrity and reliability.

Today, we continue to serve our clients with the same principles that guided us from the start. We curate heritage-quality pieces designed to elevate refined interiors and discerning lifestyles, always with a deep respect for craftsmanship, history, and trust.
