GREAT!

Ace Art consistenly lists high quality lots at reasonable prices, they are especially flexible with the purchase of passed lots, and their in-house shipping department is so convenient and just the best with quick scheduling, pricing and care.

Very pleased with their service.

Very good.

No one forced me to bid and I won the item with the minimum bid of $1, 200. The auction estimated the item would sell for $6, 000-12, 000. The fact that I won with the opening bid tells me that it was never worth the estimate. In fact, I probably overpaid at $1, 200. Also, the shipping should not have cost $80.

Many things are bad by design. The inventory is full of fake modern replicas with silly mistakes. They can't even be taken as an example of an antique item. For example, some Song-style vases with red marks and numbers are carved onto the vase. The font is computer-generated, different from a true item with hand-written marks. The crackles on the glaze are new and sharp-dangerous to handle and might cut your hand. All the items have bad forms that are not visually attractive. The lister used a bad camera to hide details. So if you see something that looks like an antique, it is probably due to random distortion and blurring from the camera. Almost nothing is an antique. The estimates are high making all of them look like authentic. Bidding process is faked with almost all bids from the auctioneer himself. After bidding is over, buy now price is 1/10 of the estimates. But don't be greedy. You will buy some ugly and cheap stuff that you don't want to look at for a second time. Try your best to avoid this auction house.
