Company Profile

The China Collection / Hidden Dragon Antiques, since its inception in 1998, has become one of North America's foremost importers and distributors of distinctive antique furniture from the Peoples Republic of China. The "town and country" or "Regional" antique furniture is gathered from the far corners of China, Tibet, Mongolia and North Korea, and dates from the Ming Dynasty (1368 AD - 1644 AD) to the Qing Dynasty (1644 AD - 1911 AD) to the mid 1940s including some interesting Art Deco and European style furniture. The three principals, John, Jharna and James Milne, make frequent buying trips throughout China and have developed a close working relationship with a number of antique dealer/collectors, thereby ensuring a broad selection of the finest quality antique furniture available, and equally important, that these antiques are carefully restored and finished. The China Collection's 10,000 sq. ft. Toronto showroom and distribution warehouse is brimming with an ever changing selection of antiques and treasures. Their U.S. locations now number 13 and are expanding along the N.E. coast from Boston to New York, and has proven to be a very successful expansion and commitment to providing the best value Chinese antiques in North America. A joint venture was recently formed with one of their Chinese antique dealer/collectors thereby providing The China Collection with warehouse space to build up an inventory of quality and unique furniture pieces and to act as a consolidation and shipping point for furniture that has been "cherry picked" from the numerous other antique dealers in China. The furniture featured on this web site illustrates just a few items in a substantial inventory. Since many of the pieces are 'one of a kind' it is impossible to catalogue most of them on this site. If however, you have a particular style of item in mind which you do not see here, just email your request and The China Collection will send pictures of pieces which may suit your needs. We invite you to view our remarkable collection of antiques at our 10,000 sq. ft. Toronto showroom and warehouse or one of our locations in the U.S. east coast. We have recently changed our name to "Hidden Dragon Antiques" which came as a bolt of inspiration after watching the movie Crouching Tiger & Hidden Dragon. Hopefully less people will call us for missing pieces of china.
