Summary

Beautiful furniture was manufactured in China during the last days of the last emperors (18th and 19th centuries). It expresses a sense of creative freedom, vigor, and visual elegance not normally associated with classical Chinese furniture. This book offers information about authentic designs from the consumer's point of view. 380 color images of furniture and accessories bring the beautiful wood and colorful finishes to life. A guide to prices makes it a useful tool for collectors and dealers alike.
