Chinese Cultural Heritage & Craftsmanship Standards
China is the thread that runs through every object at Yomkey – the silk, the porcelain, the embroidery and the symbolism that give each piece its meaning. If you have arrived here to understand the culture behind the catalogue, these five guides are the place to begin.
- A Brief Introduction to Chinese History — the dynasties and the events that shaped them.
- A Brief Introduction to Chinese Culture — the customs, symbols and values carried by the objects.
- Chinese Craftsmanship — silk, porcelain and paper-cutting, and the techniques behind them.
- China for Kids — short, plain-language introductions for younger readers.
- China Travel — regional guides that connect places to the crafts they are known for.
Each guide links outward to the products and collections it relates to, so you can move from the idea to the object without losing the thread.
