Chinese and Ethnic Minorities Items

Objets Chinois « Chinese items » is a new company created 1 year ago by Hadrien Recanati a young French businessman living in china.

“At the beginning I was only a collector of Chinese art. Because of the high prices of the Asian art on the European market I was curious to understand why was it that expensive.

It didn’t took me long to realize that the prices of Asian art sold in France were not justified. My passion made my motivation grow so that I could allow people in love with Chinese and Asian art to buy their favorite items to a fair price.

Due to my activity on the Internet, I work alone and have no middleman. This allows me to have fewer costs and make attractive prices for my clients (my prices are until 10 times lower than those of a usual shop).

My goal is to share my love for Asian and Chinese art by selling it to an affordable price.

You will find on this site our on-line shop of Asiatic, Chinese and Ethnic minorities items. Each items was directly chosen by our care.


Objets Chinois is becoming famous all around the world due to its networks of resellers. You can now find items from Objets Chinois in:

Indonesia, Portugal, France, Spain, Italia …

If you try to find better prices on the Internet you will find out that my items can’t be found at a cheaper price, for example:

- Chinese ancestor

- Chinese wooden statue items

- Chinese cricket box

What’s new?

I've been to many boutiques that carry Chinese handcrafted , but I have never found a store that specializes in them. In order to find this specialty, you must turn to the internet and as with any internet purchase, you need to be careful and check things out.

The history of ancient Cricket boxes is a very long one. Chinese cricket box have been made and flown all this time as a part of the national culture. According to historical records, this has spanned more than 2600 years. For the purpose of this article, 'ancient' means any cricket box constructed just like the original design, with the same materials and techniques.Only the wings of the male cricket have sound producing attachments, and the males have them only when their wings are fully developed at the age of maturity. The young cricket has no wings.The object of the chirping or stridulating is somewhat conjectural. It may be a love-song, mating-call, or an expression of some other emotion. The fact that the crickets are able to sing only when they are full-grown and capable of mating would seem to suggest that their chirping is a song of love.The cricket box can be bought as prints/originals or printed on the merchandise at the bottom of this page.

Since crickets produce a characteristic sound, it is natural to suppose that both males and females are able to hear it. On the lower part of the fore legs of both sexes is found a little drum-like surface, which serves as the tympanum of an ear. The sound-producing organ and the ear of the katydids, which rank next to the crickets in their singing ability, are some-what similar in structure and location.

Objets Chinois launched a few months ago a new collection of ethnics jewelries. They are from the Miao minorities and are being reviewed by our designers so that they can be weared easily. You can find our new collection on our websiteplease visit our page and subcribe to our news letter.
