Welcome

Since our first trip overland to Nepal in 1975 we have returned every year, first for love of the country and later to collect both antique and contemporary statues, wood carvings and thankas by the extraordinary craftspeople of the Kathmandu valley.

In 1985 we finally went Tibet itself and have returned almost yearly to explore the temples, the mountains and the marketplaces. We are interested in items that have the patina of long use, from Buddhist ritual objects or magic amulets to a simple wood box from a nomad's tent.
