NEW! China Seasons, our latest handcrafted furniture range, now online

We’ve further expanded our collection of handcrafted oriental furniture with the introduction of our brand new ‘China Seasons’ range, now available to view and order online. This beautiful new range is made up of an eclectic mix of lacquered and painted cabinets and chests, each item produced by hand using traditional methods and invidually finished.

Pair of Painted Cream Side Cabinets

Low Carved Cabinet, Teal Lacquer

Five Drawer, Two Door Cabinet

Cream & Ivory Painted Sideboard

Among the first set of pieces you will find fresh pastel lacquered cabinets and summery creams, as well as richer, autumnal hues. Most of the designs are based on the beautiful painted and lacquered furniture of China’s central and western provinces such as Gansu, but have been given a more contemporary twist with a palette of on trend colours. The painted cabinets are decorated with classic designs such as flowers, vases or Chinese landscapes – wonderfully detailed and given an aged look that adds character.

The first pieces for the new collection are due to leave China within the next couple of weeks, ready for delivery around late July, but you can already reserve any of these items through our website. We will be expanding the range further over the coming months so look out for more beautiful additions soon, as well as other new pieces in our ‘new arrivals’ section. As with most of our new furniture, if you see something you like but which is not quite the right size or colour, we will be happy to have a similar piece made to order to suit your requirements.

I hope you like the new range as much as we do here at Shimu!
