About

We are the only Estate Service/Antiques Dealers on the West Coast and in the world who has participated in Lectures and Symposiums on Chinese Antiques bi-Annual in London, New York, Hong Kong and Paris.

From 2009-2018 9 years straight I have flown in and I have participated and attended symposiums and taken classes at the British museum on ‘The Sir Percival Collection of Chinese Ceramics,The Victoria Albert on Buddhist artifacts, The Royal Academy ,The Oriental Ceramics Society, The SOAS School of Asian Studied London, The China Institute London, the Metropolitan Museum NY “The world of Khubilai Khan and the Yuan dynasty, the Asia Society, The Rubin Museum on Tibetan Thangkas/bronzes and many more all on Chinese Antiques and art from the Ching period to the Yuan to Archaic bronzes to the Qianglong period back all the way to the Republic Period 1911-1947.

During those travels I have amassed a fantastic network of museum Directors ,Scholars, collectors and major International dealers on Chinese antiques and Art and Tibetan bronzes and Thangkas.
None of this would have been possible without extensive traveling worldwide.

We hold the world record for a Chinese modern art piece sold outside Asia that we brokered for a Northern California client. Some other highlights we were involved in brokering the Ernst Collection in Switzerland of Tibetan Thangkas of which we had sold to a Chinese museum for 10 million, and they were building him a wing adjacent to our mentors, which was the 1st tour guides of the Hearst Castle, as we used to get antiques from Roman 2nd century AD Columns and 17th century.

We have Antiques /Fine Art and Modern Art as well as Contemporary Art from the 16th Century and late 20th Century. Having been taught a “Classical furniture background by the 1st tour guides of the Hearst Castle in the late 1980s, Rue Michelle has been one of Southern California’s leading antiques dealers/ fine art brokers Estate brokers on the West Coast with an early Career emphasis in Italian, French, English ‘Classical furniture’ as well as Decorative arts and Asian art. We have been asked to assist with brokering the most Important Chinese Painting Estate in California totalling 14 million, whereas we set the world record for a Chinese painting sold outside Asia.

Our collection is as much a visual expression of our combined tastes as it is a reflection of our extensive travels and our deep learning and studying in art and history. The enduring legacy of fine craftsmanship has inspired our awe and respect for the lost art having thus the understanding and in-depth knowledge of how rare and obscure items are made. The expertise was made possible by extensive travelling, attending lectures and world-renowned symposiums in London, New York, Paris, and Hong Kong.
