Kang Ming Picture Frame and Glass

Deemed a sunset industry, handmade photo frames and glassware are hard to come by these days in Hong Kong. Keeping this trade alive is Chan Hon-hin, the third-generation owner of Kang Ming Picture Frame and Glass, which has been a part of the Yau Ma Tei neighbourhood for almost a century. Having fully inherited the craft from his father and grandfather, Chan – who has been in the industry for more than 60 years – specialises in photo frames, frame fittings, calligraphy, and paintings. Visit his shop on 111 Shanghai Street and witness the legacy of this ancestral shop.
