Smalls are just that i.e. small pieces of furniture including bowls, rice buckets, soy pots, etc. They are important for two reasons. One reason is that the markup for smalls for most of our customers is usually higher then for larger pieces and customers can buy them on the spot and carry them away (an armoire, for e.g. would need to have shipping arranged). The other reason is that shipping is a high percentage of the cost when buying antique furniture, so most buyers put in a load of smalls to fill in the holes and bring down the average shipping cost per piece (in other words shipping and processing is basically free for smalls). Some customers order no smalls, some just a few, but our average customer includes about 200 smalls per 20ft. container, though we've shipped as many as 400 smalls in a 20 ft. container. Prices vary so please see our smalls section in photo gallery.(Smalls)

       Each time we do partial shipments we usually give a quote back to the customer on shipping and packing and tell them roughly how many smalls we can fit in. As the shipping for partial shipments is even higher then for containers most customers have us fit in as many smalls as possible in partial shipments. Please go to "Smalls" In our photo gallery for some samples of what kind of smalls we have. 
   *(always give a main city or port when asking for quotes)

      Recently we have added many art crafts and reproductions to give customers more choice in the smalls they can order. This has been more then well received and we'll be expanding on it in the future. See crafts and reproduction section. For some of these crafts discounts can be given on quantity orders.
