Our story

A considered home
for Vietnamese lacquer.

Viet Noir is a focused presentation of Vietnamese lacquer paintings. We bring the collection together with a simple intention: to give each work the space, detail, and attention it deserves.

Phù dung trĩ — Long-tailed pheasants move through flowering branches, bamboo and grasses. The expansive black-ground composition lets brilliant orange plumage stretch across the panels.
A way of looking

Let the painting
lead the conversation.

Across the collection, deep grounds meet vivid plumage, flowing fish, quiet figures and rural scenes. Look first at the whole composition, then return to the small details that give each painting its character.

Our gallery pairs Vietnamese titles with English translations, artist information where supplied, and dimensions from the collection records.

01

Faithful photography

Photographs are cropped and gently straightened for a clearer view. Painted details, signatures and condition are not digitally repainted. Original photographs remain available on each record.

02

Thoughtful records

Attributions follow the supplied records and are not independent authentication. Where a name is unknown or tentative, we make that distinction clear.

03

A personal exchange

Further photographs, condition reports, availability and acquisition details are discussed privately, work by work.
