The catalogue title refers to gloss and matt finish options.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSituated in traditional street life and businesses of old Hong Kong, the piece rewards attention to the people and events around it. Old Hong Kong is remembered through busy streets, trades, food, family life and community celebrations. Shopfronts and everyday characters are just as important as the larger landmarks in telling that story.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Shoe Shine Stand (Gloss \/ Matt) is identified in the supplied catalogue as a subject with gloss and matt finish options. Take care to match the selected finish to existing pieces when preparing a consistent street or character display.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe subject adds an individual point of interest to its historical or fictional setting. A carefully placed character gives the viewer someone through whom to imagine the wider story.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConsider setting the piece in a bustling street, small shopfront or market corner.
