Our line of antique furniture from China is extensive. Most of the pieces were built in the late 1700's; the newest pieces are dated circa 1875. All have been restored in China.

Many types of wood are represented. Zhang-mu, or camphor wood, is similar to oak with a prominent grain. Ju-mu, or southern elm, is hard and dense with a beautiful color; it has a large grain suggesting mountains piled upon mountains. Zi-tan, or red sandalwood, is similar to rosewood, the hardest and heaviest of all hardwoods. Included among the other woods (by their American names) are: bamboo, birch, cedar, cherry wood, cypress, ebony, fir, locust, mahogany, pear, pine, and teak.

Because this furniture has been produced in a similar manner for centuries, the supply is abundant. Since they are antiques, each is unique and small variations in size and detail should be expected. It should also be noted that due to differences in temperature and humidity between China and the United States, some cracking and warpage may occur after transit.

The accessories line is comprised of items that have found in traditional Chinese homes for centuries. Although most of the items are made from various types of wood, some are bamboo or wicker, a few are porcelain, and include: assorted sizes and shapes of wooden buckets and boxes, wedding baskets, tea pots, and drum stools.
