Dragon Art

I’ve found the most gorgeous jewelry, authentic Chinese paintings, scarves, and other gifts at this gem of a shop. They also carry garden sculptures, Chinese dresses, and all sorts of other gorgeous décor — for your and your house. Also, the staff is incredibly friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and not at all pushy. Next time you’re looking for something unique and beautiful for someone or for yourself, pop into this little shop. They have gifts for children, too. I always find something artistically inspiring here.

Love the calligraphy.

Interesting little Chinese/​Asian shop down here in the Chinatown district of Portland. Nothing terribly noteworthy from the outside and the downstairs is all pretty trinket-​y. However, the upstairs here at Dragon Art is a different story. All sorts of amazing artwork, Chinese calligraphy and scroll work — much of it looking authentic. Operative word here being «looking». Of course the stuff is largely overpriced — but not so overpriced that you’ll completely balk at buying any of it.
The girl working the front desk the day that we visited was a bit rude and surly, hence the demotion to only 2 stars instead of 3. An interesting shop nevertheless, and worth a quick stop inside if you find yourself in the neighborhood.
