POLICY

ABOUT ANTIQUES

Chinese/Asian antique furniture are made of solid wood. They have marks, cracks, uneven surfaces, scratches and sometimes splits and peels due to movements of solid wood reacting to climates. They are not defects. During restoration we painstakingly preserve a piece's patina in keeping with its integrity.

Tibetan and Mongolian furniture, even though some are new, have similar conditions due to the fact they are one of a kind pieces, hand made by folk artists and craftsmen, without wood drying and conditioning equipment mess furniture manufacturers use. Dramatic climate change from Tibet to America also contributes to the splitting of solid wood on furniture. 

We take pride in presenting our antiques and introducing them to you with the best of our knowledge. All quoted age and dimensions are approximate. Price is for each piece unless the title says "pair" even if the photo shows 2 items together. 

 

RETURNS

Due to the nature of our business, and to be consistent with our industry practice, there is no returns.

 

OUT OF STOCK

Almost all of our antique pieces are one of a kind. Out of stock situations happen frequently due to extremely limited quantities (most of time there is only ONE piece available). Please contact us if your desired item is out of stock. Current items are likely to be available again. Antiques vary from each other in details, dimensions and colors. We will do our best to source a similar piece for you.
