AbstractTraditional Tibetan furniture is the least researched field of Tibetan art. While art forms related to Buddhism, such as statues and thangkas, Buddhist scroll paintings, have been popular for some time, until recently few furniture pieces have been available outside Tibet. Over the last four years, however, a handful of dealers in the United States have pioneered the import of Tibetan furniture, and now at least three Hong Kong galleries - C.P. Ching, Plum Blossoms and Zee Stone - offer good selections.
