Thanks to Steven Wang for the pic:

Send in your favorite photo of something interesting, odd, or funny while you stayed in China. Send it to sendfunnypics@xianzai.com with the subject "Xianzai Beijing Funny Pics!". We'll post the best pics here each week!

Each week we highlight a new and interesting piece of antique Chinese furniture!

 

Clean lines and distinctive finish give this Shanghai colonial collection its classis appeal. This piece has been given a transparent lacquer that highlights the wood's natural grain. It would look just great in the middle of your foyer with a nice centerpiece of ikebana on it.
