We work with suppliers in Beijing and Shanghai to hand select the finest Chinese antique furniture from the 18th, 19th and early 20th centuries. Each piece is carefully restored by skilled craftsmen to bring it back to its former luster without losing the delicate patina that has formed over the years. The result is an understated elegance that makes a beautiful addition to any setting.

Our selection of antique furniture is sourced from all over China – from Canton in the south to Mongolia in the north – and each piece has its own unique characteristics. Brightly painted trunks from Tibet contrast with imposing, rich elm armoires from Beijing. Walnut cabinets from Gansu sit alongside painted cabinets from Shanxi – muted over time to leave a wonderfully subtle appearance.

We hope you will find something in our current range of antique Chinese furniture to inspire you, but please check back regularly as our collection is constantly changing. And if you don’t find what you are looking for please let us know - we would be happy to source a particular piece for you through our network of suppliers.
