Hi,

I'm in Shanghai for a few month and I'm really interested in chinese antiques. But not the kind of antiques (or supposed antiques...) you find almost everywhere!!

I'm looking for everything from furnitures to textiles and curios.

Could anybody recommand a good place to go to if we're not looking for fakes?

Thanks a lot!!!

I am not sure if it's the case in Shanghai, but I happened to see some historical museum attached shops sell antiques, antiques that is after the year of the 60th of Qianlong(乾隆) （i.e. after 1795), The antiques should have sealing wax and/or maybe certificates that make sure you don't have problem to take them out of China.
