Since our inception in 1999, Bao Antiques has been dedicated to serving a global community of collectors, designers, and architects with a diverse array of exquisite antiques and fine objects. Nestled in the heart of California, we present the world with fine furniture, bronze and stone sculptures, architectural marvels, devotional artworks, gemstone statues, ethnic relics, and much more, spanning epochs from prehistory to the 20th century, and encompassing regions across Asia, America, Africa, and Europe.
At Bao Antiques, we embark on a global quest to uncover the most extraordinary treasures, meticulously handpicking each item with care and scrutiny. Our acquisitions are made with the utmost deliberation, and any necessary restorations are conducted in-house by our team of master craftsmen. Our gemstone statues are one-of-a-kind, sourced directly from artisans who ethically mine these natural wonders. With an 80-year legacy in the antique trade, our family's reputation stands as a testament to the authenticity and quality of our inventory.
Over the years, our pieces have been added to important collections by Royals and celebrities, starred in blockbuster films, and featured by prestigious design magazines like Veranda. But our reach extends far beyond California's borders; we have clients in France, England, Italy, Belgium, Albania, Spain, Germany, Netherland, Saudi, and much more. We proudly operate two galleries in Shanghai, catering to the discerning tastes of Asian collectors, and showcase our curated selection at the esteemed International Arts and Antiques Show in this vibrant metropolis.
Whether you explore our offerings on our US website or browse through our listings on 1stdibs and Chairish, rest assured that each piece is physically housed and protected in our California location. At Bao Antiques, our mission is to curate a collection of exceptional pieces that will not only be "A thing of Beauty" today but will also be " A Joy Forever", as cherished family heirlooms for generations to come.
