Dimensions for each piece of furniture can be found on the signboard in the photo. They are written as width x depth x height. Many of the measurements on the signboards in the photos are expressed in centimeters. To convert to inches, divide by 2.54. We always round up to the nearest inch. LOOKING FOR THE PERFECT THING?

Restorations ~ Before & After

These are some pictures Bill took at our warehouse complex outside of Beijing. Some of you may recognize a piece you bought from us and have placed in your home. This is the way the furniture looks in its rough state, before any cleaning or repair has been done. Under each rough photo I have placed a photo of the same (or very similar) piece after restoration.

People often wonder how Chinese antique furniture will look in their own homes. Always functional, it can be whimsical, dignified, decorative or actually structural. We have put together some photos, all sent to me by long term customers, which illustrate different ways to use these beautiful and unique pieces in your own home.

The Great Wall of China has always been a huge draw for tourists, both Chinese and foreigners. The parking lots are almost always full, and there are big crowds at this entrance outside of Beijing almost year round. These pictures were taken in September, again by Bill in 2007. When I visited years ago, I remember it was almost hot at the bottom but by the time we reached our highest point it was very, very cold and we were walking through clouds.These arches just beg to be filled up and happen to be nearly the right size for a man to stand up straight inside.
