Chinese Furniture is a survey of collectibles - from the very best hardwood pieces featured to standard softwood specimens still available on the Asian market. This book presents an overview of carving styles, wood types, regional variations, class distinctions and restoration techniques. The renewed interest in antique furniture has sparked a wave of forgeries. Thousands of factories in southern China are churning out brand new or refurbished items and passing them off as antiques. With its historical overview and regional sweep, this book highlights the diversity of antique Chinese furniture and serves as an indispensable guide to collectors, new and old.
