Unique antiques once used in the Nguyen Dynasty royal palace

On the afternoon of June 22, the Hue Monuments Conservation Center coordinated with the Ho Chi Minh City Antiquities Association and a number of domestic collectors to organize the opening of the exhibition "Convergence of Antiquities" at Kien Trung Palace - Hue Imperial City.

Many rare antiques used by the Nguyen Dynasty were introduced at the exhibition.

Taking place from June 22 to July 21, the exhibition "Antiques Convergence" introduces 147 antiques and artifacts from the Nguyen Dynasty, selected from collections of materials such as enamel, ceramics, precious metals, and wood .

147 Nguyen Dynasty antiques and artifacts were introduced at the exhibition.

Mr. Hoang Viet Trung, Director of the Hue Monuments Conservation Center, said that these are antiques and artifacts crafted under the Nguyen Dynasty, used in the royal court and among the people, crafted by the royal court's statues and made by domestic production establishments (such as Cay Mai pottery, wooden furniture, etc.) or ordered and purchased from abroad for use in the royal palace and among the people (some enamelware, porcelain, etc.) .

“With the theme “Antiques Convergence”, the exhibition aims to create activities related to long-standing traditional hobbies, while creating new experiences for people and tourists in the heritage space. It creates opportunities for domestic antique collectors to exchange and share experiences in collecting antiques – a job that requires players not only to come from passion and cherish heritage but also to have financial resources and intercultural knowledge to be able to pursue their passion”, said Mr. Trung.
