The mortise and tenon joint is the cornerstone of traditional Chinese furniture making. This ancient technique creates strong, durable connections without the use of nails or screws. Each joint is precisely cut by hand to ensure a perfect fit, resulting in furniture that can last for generations.
Our master carvers use traditional tools to create intricate patterns and designs on our chairs. Each carving is done by hand, ensuring that every piece is unique. From simple geometric patterns to complex floral motifs, our carvings add depth and character to each chair.
We use only the finest natural materials, carefully selected for their quality and sustainability. Our wood is air-dried for several years to ensure stability, and we use traditional methods to treat the wood and protect it from moisture, insects, and decay.
Our chairs are finished using traditional Chinese painting techniques, which involve multiple layers of natural lacquer and polish. This not only enhances the beauty of the wood but also provides a protective coating that ages gracefully over time.
