Ming furniture dealer Grace Wu Bruce has chosen a stark, all-white palette in her Hong Kong gallery. Visitors pass through a modern interpretation of a moongate into the serene space which shows off the antique furniture's fine architectural proportions.
Calligraphy, carved latticework window screens, lacquerware and silk lanterns furnish the series of small lounges and bars which make up BAM-BOU restaurant.

In the comfortable living room of Grace Wu Bruce's Hong Kong home, a pair of calligraphy hangings by Wang Shixiang flanks a scroll painting by well-known Hong Kong artist, Harold Wong. The table is a late Ming day bed; in foreground are a pair of drum stools.
The living room in furniture dealer Jean-Philippe Weber's house contains a cane-topped table with a white leather Qing dynasty hatbox from Beijing and a collection of opium pipes made of turtleshell and ivory. The black lacquer cabinet is from Beijing, early 19th century. On the rear wall is a colourful oil painting by artist Pang Yong Jie.
