Honeychurch Antiques
Honeychurch was first established in Hong Kong in 1963 on Hollywood Road long before Hollywood Road became a world famous centere for Asian antique art. Glenn and Lucille Vessa, long long-time residents of Asia and highly respected dealers of Asian art and Chinese export silver, run the Hong Kong shop. Honeychurch Antiques in Seattle followed and was founded by John and Laurie Fairman. They specialize in fine Asian antique art, all hand selected and one-of-a-kind. Honeychurch Antiques in Seattle carries an eclectic blend of Asian art from as early as the fifth millennium BC up to the early half of the 20th century. Furniture includes 18th - 19th century Chinese and Japanese furniture, paintings, screens, and prints, as well as porcelains and pottery including Han Dynasty (3rd century B.C.) Burial figures from China, and 14th century Vietnamese porcelains discovered in an early shipwreck. Items range from exceedingly rare and wonderful objects worthy of any museum's collections to the merely decorative antique perfect for home décor. Both galleries have earned an international reputation for integrity in business, in addition to well-chosen and thoroughly researched art.

Oi Ling Antiques
Oi Ling Antiques specialises in antiquities favoured by traditional Chinese scholars; calligraphy, rubbings, manuscripts, bronze and sculptures. The gallery is renowned for the in-depth academic research it conducts for the pieces it represents.
Exhibition during Asia Week Hong Kong
​
During the Song period, the Chinese literati increasingly turned to arts, the study of which was considered a path to the cultivation of the moral self. Scholars became associated with the four accomplishments: painting, poetry, chess and qin.
​
In the sanctuary of their study rooms, scholars studied classics, wrote poetry, played music, practiced calligraphy and painted. Objects important in the pursuit of these activities included writing utensils and desk accessories. More than mere art curios, these objects embodied the highest degree of technical precision and finely honed aesthetic sensibility. As such, they also embodied the wisdom, traditions and values of the Chinese literati that governed China for more than two millennia.
​
At the International Antiques Fair, Oi Ling Antiques will be showcasing a range of scholar’s objects: brushes, brush pots, brush rests, ink stone, calligraphy, and more, in a setting that is reminiscent of a scholar's study.
​
Please visit booth D3 at the International Antiques Fair (Hall 5BC, Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre) from 29th May to 1st June, 2015.

YEWN
YEWN is a seed that was sown five thousand years ago in China. It germinates each time Dickson Yewn, YEWN’s creative director, creates a wearable work of art. He uses sophisticated 21st-century craftsmanship to make exquisite jewels that remind us of the national treasures once produced by the imperial artisans. YEWN has the vision to revive the finesse and sophistication of Chinese arts and culture.
“YEWN” is a play on words – it is not only Dickson’s family name, but also a homonym of “affinity” and “luck” in Chinese. Good fortune and auspicious symbolism are always central to Chinese philosophy and culture, and are represented in many different kinds of phrases, symbols and art media in China. These meaningful and powerful concepts can now be found in all YEWN’s fine jewelry collections.

Exhibition during Asia Week Hong Kong - Guts
Anyone who has ever experienced a gut feeing knows how powerful and persuasive it can be. Controlled by the inner psyche of cognition, the commonly depicted battle of head versus heart always seems to leave one thing glaringly omitted from the equation: the stomach. To trust in your gut or to betray it is a fundamental human experience that can teach us invaluable lessons about ourselves, and the world around us. Join us as we take a long stringy foray into the world of human guts (both real and imagined). This new series of art works from the Liu Dao collective seeks to ultimately learn - what does it mean to really have guts?
