FAQs

Chinese carved hardwood furniture often features traditional motifs such as dragons, floral patterns, and intricate pierced work, reaching peak craftsmanship during the late Qing dynasty and Republic periods.

These pieces are typically constructed from dense, durable hardwoods such as rosewood, zitan, or elm, often utilising traditional mortise and tenon joinery alongside detailed hand-carving.

Authenticity is determined by examining the depth and sharpness of the hand-carving, the natural patina of the wood, traditional joinery methods, and signs of age-appropriate wear and oxidisation.

Position the desk as a focal point against a neutral wall to highlight its intricate craftsmanship, pairing it with a minimalist chair to balance the heavy visual weight.

Maintain antique hardwood by keeping it out of direct sunlight, avoiding extreme temperature fluctuations, dusting with a soft dry cloth, and occasionally applying microcrystalline wax.
