NEW ARRIVALS: Two Antique Shanxi Roundback Armchairs.
These antique round-back armchairs from the villages of Shanxi were made for common folks - there are no fine carvings and no precious hardwoods. Crafted from affordable native willow, the legs and armrests were bent into shape after heating or soaking, mimicking the lightweight feel of bamboo.
What makes them special are the iron details added over time to reinforce the structure as the joints came loose, proof that someone kept coming back to sit in them, again and again.
Primitive, simple, and incredibly comfortable. Come try them out and explore our other new arrivals.

Antique Shanxi Doors & Lamphanger Chair.
A pair of handsome antique doors from Shanxi, black and understated. The hardware is all original and well-preserved. The door knockers feature a round domed backplate with a simple iron ring pull, beautifully aged over time. A notable detail is the strike plate just below the ring; it has a beautiful, layered multi-point star shape in a faded red finish, adding a subtle pop of colour against the dark wood. At the bottom, iron banding with round nail heads provides a quiet, grounding presence.
In front of the doors is an antique lamphanger chair with slender round posts and clean lines, and a carved apron that adds a decorative touch. The top corners of the chair are reinforced with iron plates from a past repair, adding a personal touch to the piece.
