This eclectic mix of antiques are in very different styles and from different regions in China. A painted wedding cabinet from Shanxi province or old Gansu grain chest may take centre stage along with more subtle pieces in elm or walnut, accessorised with ceramics and softer elements. The effect is to create a multi-layered interior that pulls together varying colours, textures and styles for a more maximalist look.
