Eastern Antique Furniture

Chinese classical furniture, which bear the imprint of traditional Eastern civilization give us information about the history of East and oriental concept of stability, prosperity and glory.
Skillfully polished wood furniture came soon CVT during the Han Dynasty. In the northern and southern Chinese provinces began to change the habit of kneeling or sitting cross-legged on a platform and began to sit on the stool. This gives rise to furniture of level height.
 
Technically structured and multi-decorated furniture p lay the foundations for further development and improvement of the Ming and Qing furniture. Classical furniture reached its zenith during the Ming and Qing dynasties. Each era is marked by its distinctive artistic style.


 Ming furniture features simple and elegant structure and attractive proportions. Qing furniture in contrast, are larger and more impressive with complex carving and inlaid decoration. These two types of furniture vary greatly in style but each reached a high level of artistic success and can claim a place in the history of world furniture.
