The sumptuous coffee table book is not only a pictorial documentation of Ong’s collection but it also lets readers in on the stories behind the pieces. The journey through Ong’s collection ends with a feature of the magnificent intricate and gilded doors that used to front many heritage buildings in George Town.
With photographs by Nicky Almasy and beautifully designed, this is a highly collectible volume.
