Shogun’s Gallery has been in business in Portland, Oregon for over twenty years. The gallery grew from a love of Japanese antiques and expanded from purely Japanese items to include Chinese antique furniture. Started from the seeds of a personal collection, Shogun’s Gallery has expanded in many directions to encompass a broad range of Japanese and Chinese antiques. With his status as a licensed dealer, Jim King has access to Dealer-only auctions in Japan as well as wholesale warehouses where he can buy antiques for a fraction of the prices found in Tokyo and Kyoto antique shops. This direct access means we don't use agents or brokers, keeping our costs down and giving us more control over the quality of the pieces we buy.
To assure the integrity of each antique we buy, it has been our policy to buy the finest quality un-restored antiques in Japan, pack them individually into 40' containers and have them delivered to our warehouse in Portland Oregon where each piece is carefully restored with exacting detail. Our search for quality Asian art has expanded into China and each container we bring back contains over 500 chairs, tables, chests and statement pieces of artwork from the Ming and Qing Dynasty periods. Our Chinese pieces are restored in China to our specifications, and we do additional restorations and alterations at our warehouse.
