Priestley & Ferraro specialises in early Chinese art. This embraces all of Chinese art from
its beginnings in the Neolithic period up to the eve of the Ming dynasty. Within this broad field our main emphasis is on ceramics - pottery, stoneware and porcelain, though we also
sell early bronzes and jades, Buddhist sculpture and other Chinese works of art. The ceramics fall broadly into three areas, which for the purposes of this web-site we are calling Song wares,
pre-Song wares and pre-Song figures. The Song wares section includes all Song ceramics and porcelain, as well as related wares from the adjacent Jin dynasty and Yuan dynasty. The pre-Song
wares section covers all vessels and non-figural objects, in pottery or stoneware, from the Neolithic through the Han dynasty and Tang dynasty. The pre-Song figures section includes largely
Han dynasty and Tang dynasty pottery funerary figures. Our other two sections are works of art, which covers all other non-sculptural media, including amongst others lacquer, cloisonne, bronze and
jade, and sculpture, mostly in stone or wood.The business was established in 1994 by David Priestley and Benedicta Ferraro, the former
previously a director of Sotheby's London and Hong Kong. The gallery is located in St James's, south of Piccadilly, an area rich in dealers in Asian art
and Chinese art, and famous also for being home to Christie's, the auctioneers, who hold regular sales of Chinese Art.
Priestley & Ferraro is a regular participator in Asian Art in London and exhibitor at The European Fine Art Fair (TEFAF), Maastricht.
Priestley & Ferraro is a member of the British Antique Dealers Association.
