Just minutes inside the festival's front gate, your pace quickens and your heart starts to race in anticipation. The most wondrous treasure chest in all the village is only steps away, housed in the white two-storied Italianate villa adjacent to the Globe Theatre. No trip to New Market Village can be considered complete until you have experienced the thrill of Noble House.
His Majesty the King has directed the Dragon's Quest masters to travel the roads of Marco Polo and seek out unique and excellent wares in faraway places. You will see the works of artisans that have spent a lifetime perfecting their skills to create beautiful and imaginative masterpieces, from the Great Wall of China to the tropical rainforests of Indonesia, the by-ways and villages abound with creative expression and talent. With the most primitive tools, or bare hands, an artist's eye, and a heart full of the love of beauty, these clever masters transform nature into compositions for the collector. These efforts may take days, months, or even years to complete. On jet airplanes or on the backs of elephants, Noble House is the result of this search.
There are handsome carvings in exotic woods, such ass ebony and teak, and more colors of jade than most can imagine, not to mention the plethora of handcrafted treasures in silk, metals, and gemstones. See for yourself the differences in rhodenite and rhodolite; elephant ivory and mammoth ivory, learn how cloisonne is made, and try to move an ebony log that weighs as much as five villagers.
Take a journey through Noble House, where excellence is common and the unusual is to be expected.
