Who We Are
Founded in Hanoi in 2010, Lacquer Art Gallery began as a small studio dedicated to preserving and promoting the ancient Vietnamese art of sơn mài — lacquer painting. What started as a passion project has grown into an internationally recognized gallery representing over 15 master artists.
We believe that lacquer art is not a relic — it is a living, breathing tradition capable of profound contemporary expression. Every work in our collection bridges the ancient and the modern, the local and the universal.
Our Mission
We exist to give lacquer art the global stage it deserves — ensuring that this extraordinary Vietnamese tradition reaches collectors, institutions, and admirers worldwide.
Every work is accompanied by full documentation: artist biography, creation process, materials used, and certificate of authenticity signed by the artist.
We work exclusively with master artists and their verified studios, ensuring fair compensation and supporting the continued practice of the craft.
From first enquiry through shipping and installation, our team provides personal, expert guidance at every step of your acquisition journey.
