1. ANTIQUES ARE FOR MORE EXPERIENCED COLLECTORS. AM I TOO “NEW“ TO COLLECT THEM?

<

There is an ancient Chinese proverb: 千里之行,始於足下.
It says: The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.


Every collection starts with the very first piece. It is extremely important for a new collector to begin their collecting journey with an honest and credible dealer. We are honored to have helped numerous art lovers and their families to learn about collecting, acquire pieces, and build their collection.

We very much enjoy sharing our experiences and knowledge with our collectors, many of whom have become our friends. Each fine piece is accompanied by a descriptive essay. We dive deep into the rich history, workmanship, and significance of each piece; we revel in discovering small details and interesting facts.

Although this process is time consuming, sometimes taking several months to complete, we do it because we want our collectors to experience a deeper appreciation and understanding of the precious pieces.

Here at Spiritual Antique Land, we are strong believers in education, and we aspire to spread the wonders of Asian history and culture through its fabulous artifacts.


2. ARE YOUR PIECES GENUINE ANTIQUES?

<

Absolutely!
Authenticity is of the utmost priority to us, and has been our key motto over two decades. All furniture and artifacts from our gallery were painstakingly examined, carefully acquired, and thoroughly cleaned. Our pieces have been selected with strict criteria, and we are very proud of each and every one of them.


3. I LIVE IN SINGAPORE. DO I NEED TO ARRANGE TRANSPORTATION OF MY PURCHASE?

<

We will take care of this. All delivery within Singapore is complimentary!

Our friendly delivery team will also unpack, and place the furniture or artifacts in your preferred location and position. Should there be a need to traverse stairs, please inform us in advance, so that we can make necessary arrangements.


4. I AM NOT LIVING IN SINGAPORE. WILL IT BE DIFFICULT TO SEND THEM TO MY COUNTRY?

<

Please leave it to us.
We will take care of everything. We are good at it too, so don’t worry!

Our clientele ranges from museums and private collectors to dealers from all over the world. We arrange for international door-to-door shipping and insurance for our pieces all the time.

We will thoroughly check, clean and protect each piece before shipping. All packing and crating are done under our close supervision. In fact, most, if not all the time, we do the packing by ourselves. Wooden crates are custom-made to size, and assembled at our premises.

No one cares about these treasures more than you and us. We see it as our responsibility to take good care of them and ensure they arrive at your door in perfect condition.


5. WILL INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING BE COSTLY?

<

I would say no, not really.

There are three options for shipping – via sea freight, via air freight, or via courier services.
The best options depends on the piece and your budget.

Over the past two decades, we have established good relationships with our shippers and insurance companies. This has allowed us to obtain great services for our collectors, at very reasonable and competitive prices.

For example, for courier door-to-door services, our collectors enjoy 50-70% discount off the board rates.
For door-to-door insurance, due to our two decades of a zero-claim record, the insurance premium ranges from 0.6-1% of the insured value. For comparison, the usual premium for antiques is 2.5-3.5% of the insured value.


6. IT IS NOT EASY TO “FEEL“ A PIECE JUST FROM THE PHOTOS. CAN YOU HELP?

< 

Certainly, we understand - we’re more than happy to help.

Thanks to modern communication technology, we have started to use different apps to help our regular collectors.
Please feel free to reach out to us, and we can set up a video call through WhatsApp, FaceTime or WeChat at a time convenient to you. You may view our collection live, and we will be able to share the history and background of each artifact you are interested in - “face to face”.

Beautiful art certainly has no borders!
