There are many ways to refurbish furniture. We do our best to
accommodate the tastes and wishes of our customer. To some
people original hardware and a very natural look are very
important. The average American buyer prefers this style. Some
customers, especially the French, want a highly polished
almost new looking piece. We've even had requests for pieces
done in green and blue which was never a color found in China.
All pieces at least need to be cleaned and tightened. We are
very straight forward about what our pieces are, but also
sometimes use a bit of 'artistic license' when refurbishing
pieces and do some modifications. For example, an 'eight god'
dinner table might have the feet rotted and the face broken so
we might turn them in to coffee tables with inlaid antique
hand carved bed boards. (These coffee table have proven to be
very popular sellers). We sometimes add drawers or calligraphy
to some pieces. Other times customers have requested us to
upgrade the hardware on some pieces with some magnificent
looking reproductions. So let us know what is important to you
and we'll do our best to meet your requirements. Many times,
though, modifications are limited by the innate nature of the
piece. In any event we are very straight forward about what we
are selling i.e. whether it is modified or not. For an example
of pieces as they come in please see section "Our
shop" in main page. One could easily write a book on this
subject, I will try to add more later.....
