A number of precious items and glamorous artwork from China and Japan are being showcased during the "Heritage And Beyond" exhibition at the Theatre of Indulgence Gallery of Lotus Arts de Vivre, Rama III Road, until May 31.
The artwork is from the collection of the gallery's owner, Rolf von Bueren, and includes designs that revel in the aesthetic qualities of objects in everyday life such as rosewood tables -- which are extremely prized by collectors worldwide -- and Japanese lacquer, a technique that expanded artistic expression.
This collection boasts top-quality pieces in terms of provenance, age, wood quality, construction, design and craftsmanship, the combination of which contribute to the rarity and value of each piece in the market now.
Usage of each piece is also an indicator of the value since it reflects the level of pleasure and luxury pursued by the wealthy, nobles, royal courts and aristocratic households of Asia.
Apart from heritage pieces, the gallery has also collaborated with Muse Design which upholds a similar philosophy of using old-fashioned, handcrafted processes which render the most beautiful pieces that embrace a modern aesthetic vision.
The exhibition is open for public viewing from 10am to 5pm on weekdays. For an appointment, call 089-667-6077 or visit lotusartsdevivre.com.
