Antique Furniture |
|
 Each week we highlight a new and interesting
piece of antique Chinese furniture!
Large Chinese Four Panel Screen with Inset Stone
Chinese folding screens, which served originally
as partitions painted with serious works, were not intended
to be moved around fre¬quently. As with most Asian
things there is symbolism in everything in the painting.
For instance this crane stands for long life because of
their long necks, the plum tree in the painting is first
to flower, and therefore symbolizes new beginning and
fertility.
For
more information, please visit our website at http://www.antique-chinese-furniture.com/

Adopt a Pet |
|
Each
week we highlight a pet that you can help adopt or foster
in Shanghai!
SCAA
is Shanghai's privately run animal protection association,
founded and supported by the expatriate community and dedicated
to saving the lives of homeless companion animals. SCAA
helps facilitate adoption of abandoned animals, educate
about pet care, and support animal shelter projects. For
