Asian influence grace many modern interiors as seen in current and past décor magazines.
Modern and contemporary interiors can often feel cold and static, add some Asian influence
and it becomes warm and dynamic. Asian antique furniture has such beautiful lines and
can make a dramatic and/or impressive impact.
Chinese furniture made during the early Qing period (1644 – 1911) was similar
to Ming (1368 – 1644) and continued to display classic, simple lines.
Over time a change in style gradually appeared, and by the end
of the 18th century the purity of Ming furniture had been replaced by angular
forms and overly ornate carvings. Ming Dynasty furniture is known for its simplicity
with sparse lines and little decoration while Qing furniture emphasizes detail
and extravagance. Chinese furniture from southern China tends to be very elaborate
whereas furniture from northern China is big, heavy and grand.
The furniture designs that came out of China during the Ming dynasty were much admired by the Europeans and have had a major influence on Western interior design. The timeless simplicity and perfect proportions of Ming furniture allow these pieces to grace even the most modern and contemporary homes. The design of Chinese furniture is elegant, polished and some woods are stained or lacquered to evoke its natural earthiness and grainy patterns Ming (1368-1644) and Qing (1644-1911) dynasty furniture and pieces are included in the Classical Chinese Furniture group, and are considered the Golden Age of Chinese furniture. Pieces from this period are high-valued antiques and today are quite hard to find.
