 Amidst the splendor of coastal Maine in the summer, Schneible Fine Art, a Shelburne, Vermont based Asian fine art gallery, will be presenting Treasures from Asia at the Asticou Inn a special exhibition of antique and contemporary treasures that have been sourced from private collections in China, Japan, and the Orient.

 This exhibition will mark the fifth Asian Fine Art exhibition conducted by,Schneible Fine Art in partnership with an important local non-profit organization. In 2009 Shelburne Farms benefited from their art exhibition and this year the Mount Desert Island Land and Garden Preserve will receive a percentage of each sale.

Collected over the past fifteen years, this exhibition will include fine quality Japanese antique stone garden lanterns including a rare and old Edo period "Oki gata" portable stone example plus early stone Japanese water basins; a fine selection of antique and ancient Chinese wood, stone, and pottery works of art; Neolithic jade BI discs, fine root wood tea tables, and an extraordinary collection of contemporary China natural dream stone paintings.

According to Schneible, "We are thrilled to be exhibiting at the Asticou Inn on beautiful Mount Desert Island. We will be bringing along some of our most important and most beautiful works of art handpicked to appeal to gardeners, painting collectors, and fine art enthusiasts in addition to anyone generally interested in Asian art. We look forward to meeting past clients as well as making new friends."
