Classical Chinese Furniture

At last, Chinese craftsmanship is receiving its due attention and appreciation. When we talking about the Golden Age of Classic Chinese Furniture, it is presumably pieces only from the Ming(1368–1644) and Qing times. The craftsmanship of Chinese Furniture reached its peak due to prosperity during the Ming dynasty and hence there was a demand for finer things in life. Certainly, this included the one of fine hardwood timber such as Huanghuali & Zitan.
