Pagoda Red

A gallery of art, antiques & curiosities. Est. 1997 | Chicago
(1)

After returning from years of life in Beijing, Betsy Nathan opened the doors of the Chicago showroom in 1997. Chinese art and furniture was Betsy's key to learning about Chinese history, culture, language and trade. Lessons filled with adventure culminated into what is now Pagoda Red, a trusted source for unusual finds from China. Pagoda Red maintains close and cherished relationships with a highl

y selective clientele of interior designers, collectors and others with a taste for incredibly unusual and beautiful things.

Warmer days call for a return to the garden. 🌵

Our collection of unusual planters once held calligraphy brushes, crushed grains, and served countless daily rituals. Today, they find new life housing succulents and plants!

🚨 Last chance to experience Boundary Layer by Issy Wilson before the exhibition closes this Friday, May 15.

On view at PAGODA RED, the series of multi-media paintings explores the liminal space between earth and air, where moss cultivates its own conditions for survival.

Wilson’s work reflects quiet resilience, adaptability, and transformation found in often overlooked spaces.

Open Hours: Tuesday–Saturday, 10 am–5 pm

In celebration of The Devil Wears Prada 2, we’re sharing a peek inside Prada Rong Zhai, an exquisite mansion restored by the PRADA group in the heart of Shanghai. 👠
Prada selected some favorites from PAGODA RED for the space—a dream to work with one of our favorite fashion houses.
Next time you are in Shanghai, stop by to dine and see it. There is a sublime cafe, Mi Shang, created in partnership with film director Wong Kar Wai where you experience fashion, film, food, history and design in one immersive experience.
And, don’t miss Wong Kar Wai’s short, a tribute to this historic project—watch via the link in bio.

If she calls it a Charleston, she’s already won—gift a set worthy of the ritual.
Something with presence, permanence—a rare find that lives as beautifully off the table as on it.

Some gifts are meant to be passed down, not packed away. Like hand-carved tiles in a hardwood box or a 19th c. lucky lacquer peach—quietly gathering more meaning every year.
