The travel Channel is going to feature Sinotique as a "hidden treasure" on their new show aptly named "The Deal Hunter" with host Ian Grant ( above left and pictured in the brown shirt doing a take for the T.V. show in front of my warehouse). Ian has been in the aniques business for 8 years and like myself makes trips to Asia frequently. The show focuses on how even a seasoned "Deal hunter" like himself can still find things here in America, you just have to know where to look. Working in front of the camera with Ian was great ! I've never had to do multiple "takes" so it took some getting used to.
I put the photo of Nate Burkes (of Oprah fame) up there cause i think they look alike. The pilot for Deal Hunter airs on Dec. 21st 07 on The Travel Channel , and again on January 21st. http://travel.discovery.com/

I just received an email from THE TRAVEL CHANNEL, they were kind enough to feature my business on their website ! Here is what they had to say:
Chinatown
Venture one block off any main street (E. Broadway, Canal Street) and onto any side street and you might forget you’re in New York City. Chinatown is a great place to find Chinese antiques, but you have to know where to look. Authentic antique pieces are extremely hard to find. Jan Lee, owner of Sinotique, has been salvaging relics from the Chinese countryside for over 10 years. Lee, like most antique collectors, can never fit all their pieces into the showroom. Ian Grant rule No. 16: The good stuff is always in the warehouse, and if you’re lucky the warehouse won’t be too far away.
