Courting Birds Option:Framed Medium The Chinese did not use

The Chinese did not use coffee tables in the sense that we know them but in colder parts of the country they would use low level tables placed on top of the heated 'kang' living area to serve refreshments or as a work surface

It is in a classic Chinese 'An' design

the lattice design in the upper panels of this beautiful black lacquer screen

created as near life size likenesses of the deceased

carved in the middle with a 'fu' symbol for good luck

Courting Birds Option:Framed Medium The Chinese did not useThis lovely print shows a pair of courting birds perched in the branches of a fruit tree. It is a print of an original Chinoiserie style painting on silk with soft, soothing colours that would enhance any interior. Available in three sizes, either unframed or mounted in a wooden frame with a black satin finish. The prints are from a collection by Diane Hill, a wonderfully talented London artist specialising in Chinoiserie style watercolours on silk.
