Antique Painted Trunk

Antique Painted Trunk Description

Product Description All the pieces included in this group are perfect imitations made nowadays by chinese carpenters in the style of the classical ming and qing dynasties' furniture. Many vendors will try to pass these pieces off as a real antique, but be careful -if the piece looks to good to be old this should be a tale tell sign -. Especially don't be fooled by "certificates of authenticity" or "wax seals" which mean nothing in most cases. The material used for these reproductions can be selected among the whole range of tropical and strictly chinese woods, even the age of the wood itself, to some extent, can be chosen. These pieces should only be bought from a reputable dealer because many factories in china are specializing in this type of furniture using low quality woods caring more about a quick sale than building a solid business.
