Sisters-in-law Lin and Marybelle opened Hu & Hu Antiques in 1998 and it has since become “the rage of the town
and everyone’s favourite shop,” according to no less an authority than Born to
Shop author Suzy Gershman, who also named it one of the top Ten Best Stores in
Hong Kong, Shang cvhai and Beijing.
From its inception, Hu & Hu has been dedicated to quality, personal service and
honesty, a philosophy that has become its signature. The commitment to quality
is such that every centimeter of every piece is meticulously and lovingly
restored – even places you’ll never see, like hidden corners, drawers and the
bottoms of cabinets. Antiques are appraised with the utmost honesty. Best of
all, Lin and Marybelle personally takes care of every single order in their
inimitable warm, friendly style that makes even seasoned shoppers like Suzy
Gershman rave: “this was one of my most fantastic shopping experiences in all my
years of doing Born to Shop – and I didn’t buy a thing.”
Wholesalers will experience the same attentive service. Contact Lin and
Marybelle at info@hu-hu.com with details of
what you are looking for, and not only will they offer you an extensive
selection via e-mail, they will also handle the packing and export documentation
if you decide to buy.
Lin Hu has 15 years of experience in both collecting and restoring antiques, as
well as a designer’s touch for putting pieces together that her customers love.
Partner Marybelle Hu’s keen ye, which enables her to find the artistry in even
the rawest, most unrestored antique, was developed at Smith College, where she
earned a degree in Art History, and honed with years at Taipei’s renowned
National Palace Museum and Sotheby’s in Los Angeles.
