We supply Chinese calligraphy
and painting goods throughout Australia, and around the world. We have a
mail order department which supplies our main customer clientele and we
serve many dealers, teachers and schools etc.
Orders are accepted by email or phone. If the goods are in stock we can give you
a turn around service, via the post of just a few days.
Beside the fact that we are the largest stockist of Chinese and Japanese Painting supplies in Australia, we also have one of the largest stocks of goods in the Chinese calligraphy area.
We have imported and distributed these goods - so we are interested in supplying other art material outlets, so as to improve the availability of the materials. We are prepared to detail the 'finer points' of these goods, as to their nature, functions etc, so that retailers stocking our range will have some knowledge of the goods, and so they can provide support and guidance to the newer interested parties
