Message from Seller:

Kuo is inspired by organic forms found in nature, as well as the timeless motifs of the Chinese Han and Ming dynasties, often combining them with Deco and Nouveau influences. Called “the imperial craftsman of the 21st century,” Kuo reinterprets the past for the present. P: 323-931-1820 E: kkuo@robertkuo.com
