The rare artworks in this collection of carpets, vessels and paintings beautifully complement one another through shared symbols, emblems and designs. Deeply rooted in Eastern mythology, these motifs represent good wishes for health, wealth, longevity and cosmic harmony. Across four centuries the makers have balanced spiritual and philosophical resonance with material and ancestral reverence.

The exhibition traces a continuous line, from the classical craftsmanship of 17th Century bronzes and textiles to the expressive, contemporary brushstrokes of Chinese and Japanese artists working today. By placing these distinct mediums in conversation, the exhibition reveals how artistic techniques and philosophies have fluidly evolved to create a new visual language for the modern world.
