Dahliantiques unconditionally guarantees each piece that it sells as to age, authenticity and condition. All of the Chinese art that it offers for sale were obtained over a 35 year period exclusively from sources in the United States, principally in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Pennsylvania, from estate sales, recognized dealers and similar venues. The bronze offered here was located in an estate in Salt Lake City, Utah, the owner having spent time in China prior to the Second World War.
