The place for original Chinese paintings and scrolls Don't be fooled by this shop's plain exterior. Established in 1976, Chinatown Gallery & Art Supplies is the oldest & largest Chinese art gallery in Chinatown. Inside, tall green plants and walls lined with colorful Chinese paintings & traditional scrolls fill this 1,700 sq. ft. art gallery. This spacious gallery houses a vast collection of original paintings & traditional scrolls from China. It also carries one of the widest selections of Chinese art supplies and offers customized framing & scroll-mounting services at affordable prices. The gallery is filled with paintings from small, "8 x 10", to jumbo paintings as large as "40 x 80". Medium runs the gamut from oil and watercolor paintings on rice paper to hand-embroidered pictures and hand-painted scrolls. Traditional themes range from serene landscapes to floral/animal designs. There are also various types of "seals" or "chops" that they will carve to your specifications, along with a wide selection of frames. "I have known Mr. Hor for over 15 years. My most precious works of art as well as family photos and antique scrolls are trusted to no other person in NYC than Mr. Hor! I have the utmost respect for this man, his honesty, his attention to detail, and to the integrity and pride he brings to his business. He is what makes Chinatown one of the most unique places to shop in all of NYC. I have learned a lot from his scholarly knowledge of Chinese poetry, and calligraphy ( he has studied with recognized calligraphy masters), and I continue to be influenced by his humble nature and genteel manner." -- Jan Lee
