Capital Gallery

Hong Kong


Located on a slope between Upper Lascar Row and Hollywood Rd, this tiny, friendly shop specialises in ceramics and is crammed with sculptures and other curios dating from 4000 to 5000 years ago. Silk Road pieces, such as minority textiles from northwest China, are also a highlight.
