about this region

Northern Chinese Provinces

Our best-selling case goods are crafted in the heart of Northern China, a region steeped in a centuries-old tradition of furniture-making. For over a decade, we’ve partnered exclusively with a single, small, family-run workshop that blends time-honored techniques such as mortise-and-tenon joinery and hand-planed surfaces with a deep respect for natural materials.

Our workshop specializes in reclaimed woods like Elm, Northern Pine, and Poplar, salvaged from old buildings and developing villages. Each piece tells a story, full of character, texture, and authenticity. Unlike mass-produced imports, our furniture is never machine-made or molded. These are heirloom-quality pieces, made slowly, by hand, using skills passed down through generations.

While the phrase “Made in China” can carry certain assumptions, our pieces proudly defy those expectations, offering exceptional craftsmanship, soulful materials, and a deep sense of place.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is your furniture made from solid wood?

Yes. Our case good furniture is made from solid wood, stone, and metal—never veneers, plywoods, or plastics.

How do I clean my wooden furniture?

Dust regularly with a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals, a damp cloth or mild household cleaners are recommended. Use coasters to protect surfaces.

Will my furniture have natural imperfections?


Yes, and that’s part of what makes it special. Whether vintage, reclaimed, or newly crafted, our pieces are made from natural materials and are handmade, so you can expect beautiful variations in grain, texture, tone, and subtle imperfections that give each piece its own unique character. These aren’t flaws, they’re the marks of authenticity and craftsmanship.

What’s the difference between vintage, reclaimed, and newly crafted items?

Vintage: Authentic pieces from the past with unique character and signs of age.

Reclaimed: Newly made products from reclaimed materials like old wood or stone.

Newly Crafted: Made new using traditional techniques and high-quality materials.

Will my product look exactly like the photo online?

Our product photos show a single piece from our current stock. Unless you’re purchasing a one-of-a-kind vintage item, you’ll likely receive a different piece from inventory, not the exact one pictured. We maintain consistency in style, finish, and overall appearance, but because we use real wood, natural variations in grain, tone, and texture should be expected.
