Ze Arts Worldwide — Attraction in San Francisco

Conmen who look for marks to defraud. If he tries to bring you to an upper floor, you're a mark. The art is fake. He pressures marks, isolates them, corners them, then offers "discounts," "free shipping," "I'll add this for free if you get this other thing," etc.

He tried to sell us a knockoff of a $541 work by Yves Lohe (Lot 64) for $9,500, as well as two others from Lohe that are valued the same or less for $7,000. He tried to sell a blatant fake copy of the harp by Lohe (Lot 324) for $7,800. That original piece was sold for $750 in Atlanta, Georgia, on June 9th, 2022.

After confronting him, he said, "Our artist is from Murano, Italy." It's got Lohe carved in it. Lohe is French, you know France? Not Italy. That city in Italy is also known for making glass, so them making glass fakes of Lohe who worked with glass actually checks out.

Also, mysteriously, one of the real works for sale at auction suddenly got a bid right after we told him and showed proof that he sells fakes. Can't imagine who bid on it. Nope, nobody is...

My wife and I were very impressed with the gallery and the way we were treated during our visit. We went in to see their selection of Lladro pieces. We ended up purchasing four beautiful figurines. After we made the purchase, the owners took the time to show us around, even going upstairs to look at more home furnishings. They were very gracious and generous with their time. I was a little worried about how our items would arrive after their cross-country trip, but was pleased to see how well everything was packed, arriving in a large box secured to a pallet. Each Lladro was shipped in its original box, save for one, but each piece arrived in perfect and undamaged condition. We’ll be sure to drop in again on our next visit! Thank you to all the people at...

In June we bought a Lladro from them and noticed the the display piece was damaged so we insisted that our purchase was on condition of getting a new piece from the Lladro factory. The piece can in and looked to be fine but is now falling apart! on closer observation we now see that they have fixed the damaged display piece and shipped it to us. I have been in touch with their Director who has asked me to fix it with super glue! I called Lladro USA and they said that they are not an authorized distributor. So I went back to the Director asking for a copy of the invoice he got from Lladro as proof he bought a new piece but got not reply. Do not deal with this company as they ship damaged...
