Testimonials I: Chinese Art Appraisals and Consulting (Posted with our clients' permission)

"My wife and I are very pleased with the quality as well as the content of your report. The extensive research you did on the painting is quite impressive. The choices of those comparable paintings for fair market value analysis in your report are excellent indeed. We particularly appreciate your views about the differences in style and quality between our painting and the comparable paintings. We are glad that we selected your appraisal service for our painting. Your efforts and time on this project are greatly appreciated."
- C.C. Shen, San Diego

"You are exactly the knowledgeable and honest person as others say in testimonials posted on your website. ... With your honest and frank opinion, I can now look at the artwork and continue to enjoy its beauty and not have to be burdened about its material worth."
- Thomas LIM, Australia

"My father and I are very lucky to have found such an exceptional person like you. Not only you are a professional in your field but also a caring person with a sense of integrity. As you have wisely noticed, the Chinese chest means a lot to us. Money is not always the answer to solve a problem, specially in our case. My parents are very disappointed with the way the insurance company is handling our situation. It would be an honor to meet with you in New York on our next trip."
- M. Bloch, FL

"Thank you very much for your response to my letter regarding my painting. Your comments are very helpful, because it provides me with a response to question about the painting. Knowing that it is almost certainly not an authentic painting means that I can enjoy it without concern for monetary value."
- A. Armfield

"I had previously submitted this painting to Sotheby's in New York City for review and after a long four weeks, they replied that they did not have a professional Chinese painting appraiser on staff. Then I found Dr. Wei Yang, who ran a quick and thorough appraisal of my paintings in less than 24 hours after I emailed her all the details & digital pictures. The report she returned back to me detailed out the exact year of production, a biography of the painter and calligrapher, and a background history of the painting. She also listed the most current comparables market analyzed price for me based on the final auction bid of similar works from the same artist. I highly recommended her to anyone who needs a professional appraiser for your Chinese art object."
- K. Woo, New York City

"It was a totally wonderful experience working with you. I truly miss it. You are a very, very knowledgeable and professional person. I can't image any way for you to improve on your dealings with me as a client. Your concern with 'dotting all the I's and crossing all the T's' was perfectly amazing! The quality of your service, your responsiveness, and manner were above reproach!

The appraisal reports were very thorough. I had no idea what to expect, so I was duly impressed by your reports... I think it would be fun to get the Taoist piece appraised by someone else, without letting on that I know anything about it ... I'll bet the outcome would be a whole different experience! In short, I was very satisfied. For example, I was originally under the impression that perhaps the four weavings were as important as the Taoist piece, but with your appraisal, I understand much more about each item, and why the differences in value.

I am extremely pleased that I was lucky enough to find you on the intenet with my limited computer abilities. I can't come up with any constructive criticism at all regarding your performance. I am in awe of your talents. I have already boasted of your talents to others, and I would by all means recommend you very highly."
-T. Longhurst, FL

"I don't know how to thank you...I can see you spent so much time doing this for me and it took a lot of work. I don't know what to say, you went beyond what was necessary and gave me a lovely gift of this poetry. I am so thankful that you did because the poems are so beautiful. As beautiful as the fan itself. It was really very kind of you."
-J. Brooks, CA

"I would like to comment on Wei Yang's performance in providing us a report on the condition and history of several Chinese paintings. We believe the report itself was professionally done and of very high quality. It provided us all the information that Wei promised us and the information itself was detailed and very useful. We especially want to commend Wei's performance in responding to our inquiries. During the course of this report which took place over several months, my mother and I had many questions and Wei always responded to them promptly, courteously, and in a very professional manner. She also went the extra mile several times in providing us information beyond what we asked for. I would recommend Wei's services for anybody who is looking for a quality job on appraising Chinese paintings."
-R. Hanson, OH

"Your report about my Chinese Painting was indeed very interesting, informative, and answered many of my questions. I do not plan to sell any as I enjoy having them on my walls and my friends also think they are very special.... The names of the artists and the explanations of each painting fascinated me. I would love to greet you personally if you ever should be in the New England area. With much appreciation."
-Rose Hanson, NH

"Let me, for the record, Wei, thank you for all that you’ve done in regard to the Tunstall Chinese painting project. It is truly a pleasure to work with someone so knowledgeable, professional and personable. You answered all of my questions completely, my concerns with patience and thoughtfulness and my naiveté with some very welcome cautions. The final report was impeccably written, providing invaluable information not only to me, but to my family for generations to come. Thank you so much for your perseverance and patience!

Seriously, Wei, working with you on this project has been more pleasurable than I had expected; thank you for your care and concern. May our paths cross again."
-R. McHaney, WA
