He is referenced as an important expert in most all Classical Chinese Antique books written since the late 1990's.

He is considered a respected source of authentication within the Auction House community, including experts from the Antiques Road Show. With galleries from HongKong to mainland China to USA his exhibitions and lectures on authenticating and dating Chinese furniture, draw global attention. His private collection is of museum quality and he has an impeccable reputation amongst prestigious appraisers and dealer's around the world.
