Antique Chinese Furniture

Antique Chinese Furniture

We work with carefully selected suppliers around China to source unique, beautifully restored antiques to bring to the UK on our regular shipments. Each piece has an individual story and character and makes a wonderful statement piece in a new home. The range includes cabinets, altar tables and sideboards, often with the original finish or in a more stripped back, natural look that perfectly blends with other Kayu pieces.
