Antique Furniture |

 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.
