The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

A horseshoe back chair, or Quanyi, is a traditional Chinese seating design characterised by a continuous curved top rail that forms both the backrest and armrests. Historically originating in the Song Dynasty and refined during the Ming and Qing eras, these chairs symbolise status and structural balance.

Traditional Chinese seating is typically constructed from hardwoods such as elm, pine, or rosewood using precise mortise and tenon joinery without metallic nails. The frame is finished with natural lacquer coatings and often adorned with hand-carved splat panels and subtle gilt details.

Authentic pieces feature traditional unnailed joinery, hand-carved motifs, and organic surface wear around the armrests, seat frame, and footrests. The lacquer layer typically demonstrates age-appropriate craquelure and variations in tone rather than an even synthetic sheen.

Position the chair as a standalone sculptural accent in an entryway, living area corner, or study to contrast modern architecture. Combining the piece with neutral upholstery, contemporary artwork, or minimalist lighting highlights its curved silhouette.

Keep lacquered wooden furniture away from direct heat sources and fluctuating humidity to prevent wood movement or lacquer degradation. Dust the surface regularly with a dry, soft cloth and avoid chemical polishes or abrasive cleaning agents.
