Silk lamps/lanterns

Posted by John (1875 days ago)

Hi, I am looking for a shop in Saigon that sells the classic Vietnamese silk lamps - the ones on the stand, not the ones that hang. Suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

Loads of them. Try the 3 on Le Duan - Oriental Home, Master Works and Nguyen Feres. Also Dragon Gate on Le Thanh Ton. Many of these shops will also make them for you in the colour and size of your choice. Have fun!

Yes - these are the table and floor models, not the hanging types.
I don't have the addresses, but the shops on Le Duan are just down the road from Diamond Plaza, next to the US Consulate. Dragon Gate on Le Thanh Ton is opposite a cafe called Boss. Both Boss and DG are on an intersection, so not easy to miss.
Hope that helps
