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\u003eDoing Business (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. A coherent background is often the difference between an attractive miniature and a memorable historical vignette.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt can be presented independently as a portrait or integrated with related figures. A simple and consistent setting often makes the character more compelling than a crowded background.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt will sit naturally alongside shopkeepers, rickshaws, pedestrians and shop façades. Choosing companions from the same historical setting helps keep the story consistent.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe historical interest extends beyond the title: it is also about the texture of everyday life, commerce and community. That perspective can help guide a more personal collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is equally suitable as a stand-alone subject or as one part of a carefully arranged story from the same range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow available from The Military Workshop.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"King \u0026 Country","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53419476877594,"sku":"HK266 G\/M","price":159.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0958\/0154\/0890\/files\/HK266G.jpg?v=1794303862","url":"https:\/\/themilitaryworkshop.com\/products\/hk266-g-m","provider":"The Military Workshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
