The Paul Montgomery Studio Antiquity Collection depicts either allegorical or historical scenes dating as far back as the Tang and Qing dynasty (1200-1900 BC). They are painted with a special technique which creates a feeling of antique quality and beauty. The designs are well known around the world and can still be seen in museums in China and elsewhere. Designs include scenes of village life and ceremonial settings populated with detailed figures, while others depict beautiful and serene landscapes. Click here to view the collection.

Paul Montgomery Studio's artists have re-designed some of these scenes and captured not only a wonderful decorative effect but have also retained the centuries-old Chinese cultural and artistic aspects of the original work. Our artists use the same traditional Chinese painting techniques used for thousands of years to hand paint each design with precision to maintain the original art form and style. Each design of the Antiquity Collection has at least 10 continuous panels with no design repetition.  To see sample grounds, click here.
