Museum Collection

We are glad to see the audience for contemporary lacquer art creations is growing. It has become a thoughtful investment that speaks of the collector’s recognition and responsibility to buy well. Lacquer is a rare art and uniquely Asian.  We hope that with our joint efforts more museums and respectable institutions over the world acquiring contemporary lacquer art as part of their permanent collection and promoting the recognition of lacquer art as it deserves.

We are also delighted to have supported two major displays at the Victoria & Albert (V&A) Museum in London.
