Aside from creating custom one
of a kind pieces we also reproduce Chinese furniture from the Ming and
Qing dynasties (16th - 20th century).
When reproducing
Ming and Qing dynasty furniture it is imperative to maintain the integrity
of the piece by utilizing the original joinery and techniques used in
the past. Many of the tools used to make this type of furniture are
no longer commercially available. So most times I will reproduce the
tools before I reproduce the furniture in order to help maintain the
integrity of each piece. On this page you will find four links to animated
files that show the complexity of some of the joinery used in early
Chinese furniture design.
