Chinese furniture has a history of over 2000 years. The styles and designs reflect the culture in which it developed. The evolution of the furniture show how the society changed over time.
Chinese antique furniture has become very popular in the last 20 years or so. However, given its relatively recent "discovery" by those of us outside China there is much confusion on issues such as authenticity, the quality of the piece in its original state and the level of care taken in its restoration.
We at Humble House guarantee that we only deal in genuine old and antique furniture. The process of restoration is based on principles of conservation with every care taken to be sympathetic to the original piece.
We will use both the website and the blog to discuss different aspects of the furniture and related cultural dimensions.
