Finding the Right Asian Art and Furniture for You
From Japanese handmade earthenware pottery, originating circa 14,500 B.C. and adorned with elaborate corded patterns known as jōmon, to natural elm case pieces and storage cabinets built in Qing dynasty–era China to mid-century Thai rice-paper charcoal rubbings, antique and vintage Asian art and furniture make for wonderful additions to all kinds of contemporary interiors.
Eastern elements elevate any home’s decor. Introduce zen sensibility to your living room, dining room and bedroom with the neutral color palettes and the natural materials such as rattan, bamboo and elm that we typically associate with traditional Asian furniture. Decorative handwoven embroideries and textiles originating from India and elsewhere on the continent, which can be draped over a bed or sofa or used as a wall hanging, can be as practical as they are functional, just as you wouldn’t seek out Japanese room-divider screens — often decorated with paintings but constructed to be lightweight and mobile — merely for privacy.
With everything from blanket chests to lighting fixtures to sculptures and carvings, it’s easy to tastefully bring serenity to your living space by looking to the treasures for which the East has long been known.
For British-born furniture designer Andrianna Shamaris, the Japanese concept of beauty in imperfection isn’t limited to her Wabi Sabi collection. She embraces it in her New York City apartment as well. In the living area, for instance, she retained the fireplace’s original black marble while swathing its frame and the rest of the room in bright white.
“We left the fireplace very clean and wabi-sabi, so that it blended into the wall,” says Shamaris, who further appointed the space with a hand-carved antique daybed whose plush pillows are upholstered in antique textiles from the Indonesian island of Sumba.
In the growing antique and vintage Asian art and furniture collection on 1stDibs, find ceramics from China, antiquities from Cambodia and a vast range of tables, seating, dining chairs and other items from Japan, India and other countries.
- What is Japanese porcelain?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022The creation of Japanese porcelain began in the late 1500s. Although the styles and variations of Japanese porcelain range, many consider Kyushu to be the center of Japanese porcelain production. You’ll find a variety of antique and modern Japanese porcelain pieces on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMay 30, 2024To date Japanese porcelain, examine its markings. Generally, the name Nippon appeared on pieces produced between 1891 and 1921. From 1945 to 1952, makers placed a mark that read "Made in Occupied Japan." A piece that is marked simply "Japan" or "Made in Japan" may date from the period just before or during World War II or from after the end of occupation in 1952. When in doubt, consult a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antiques dealer for help with dating. On 1stDibs, shop an assortment of Japanese porcelain.

Many collectors prize porcelain ware produced in Japan during the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries, and demand for pieces from this period can be high due to the demand. Some types that are particularly sought include Arita ware, Seto ware and Mino ware. The value of a particular piece depends on its age, maker, style and condition. A certified appraiser or expert dealer can help you determine how much your porcelain is worth. On 1stDibs, shop a large selection of Japanese porcelain.
- 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 28, 2021Japanese porcelain ranges from $1,500 to $3,000 but may be found at a lower price in auctions.
