Chinese jade by Philippe Soret


Welcome to our site on Antique Chinese Jade.

My passion for the Arts of the Far East and in particular for Chinese jade over the course of three decades has lead me to present this study on archaic jade.

Whether from the Neolithic era or from the Shang, Zhou, Han, Tang, Song, Ming and Qing dynasties, these collector's pieces feature chimera, cicadas, phoenix, dragons,carps and other animals. Whether nephrite or jadeite jade, pendant or ornaments, whether called Cong, Bi, Yuan or Huan, all have been meticulously selected for you.

Many of these items have been studied in laboratories.

Most of this collection is for sale in my gallery in Paris.
