Wattis Fine Art

Top choice in Hong Kong


This upstairs gallery has an outstanding collection of antique maps, lithographs, photos and posters for sale. Rarely will you find such an extensive homage to Asian history, covering not just Hong Kong and Macau but also Chinese cities like Shanghai and Southeast Asian destinations such as Borneo, Myanmar (Burma), Malaka and Mumbai. Enter from Old Bailey St.

The owner usually plunders his stock to put on four to five exhibitions a year, artfully hung on the shop walls.
