Neil, is a tremendous, impressive expert on Japanese culture in general, and on Netsuke in particular, this is why one can absolutely rely on his long term experience and accumulated knowledge. This can only be acquired by many, many years in the business. I would never hesitate to seek his advice, and of course, buy from him, again, and again. I could not think of anyone else I would trust more to turn to on any Netsuke matter!

I've always been impressed with Neil's ability to source good quality netsuke at reasonable prices. As a collector of the past six years, I've found Neil's taste in subject and character has meant I've been able to acquire a number of top quality netsuke to place into the core of my collection. Neil has a humorous, relaxed and pragmatic personality which has turned every transaction into a real pleasure. Give him a try, he won't bite your head off, just your wallet.

Neil’s encyclopaedic knowledge of artists and schools is so impressive. On a visit once I showed him a purchase from another dealer. Neil immediately told me where it was made and who by. Only 3 recorded works are known by this artist, which he was able to draw my attention to in my library in two well known titles within a few minutes of his arrival. He took as much delight in sharing this knowledge as I did learning this new information about by new acquisition.
