When we think of vintage furniture our mind normally leaps to mid twentieth century, conjuring up images of gleaming rosewood sideboards and sleekly curved chairs. We want to expand this immediate perception of vintage design and throw the floor wide open to other phenomenal styles and collections. This week saw us usher in Chinese New Year and so we couldn’t think of a better occasion to celebrate the wonderfully vibrant and skilled craftsmanship behind so much vintage and antique Chinese furniture design. From the Qing dynasty to the twentieth century, here are three reasons why Chinese vintage and antiques<\/a> should definitely be on your radar!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

    So much vintage and antique Chinese furniture channels the use of brilliant colour across the whole spectrum. You might be somewhat surprised to find bright aqua or yellow Chinese antiques! Furniture from this vast region of the world is often thought of as being quite dark with ornate detail but many folk pieces are vibrantly coloured and often adorned with beautiful details, like the butterfly gold detailing on this cabinet above.
