The introduction to each section of Rain Dragon Antiquities is offered to introduce  traditional uses and styles of the furniture we offer. In addition to providing our customers with an overview of how our pieces were used in a traditional Chinese setting, we hope this information will prove a useful resource in exploring new ways to accommodate these antiquities in a contemporary setting.

We are indebted to the master of antique Chinese furniture, Mr. Wang Shixiang. The information you will find here is taken from what remains the classic study of Chinese furniture: Wang Shixiang, Mark E. Mason, et al., trans. Connoisseurship of Chinese Furniture, Ming and Early Qing Dynasties. Vols. I and II. Hong Kong: Joint Publishing Co. Ltd., 1990.
