Questions About Antique Chinese Drum
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    Chinese drums are called tanggu. Tanggu literally translates to “ceremonial hall drum.” These drums are medium-sized, barrel-shaped and played with two sticks.

    To determine the age of a Chinese furniture piece, look carefully at the joinery and finish. Natural expansion and contraction of the wood over time will cause a joint to protrude or retract, distorting a once-seamless fit. Antique lacquer finishes become crackled and worn over time. Areas of exposed wood, such as the underside of a table, the footrest of a chair, or the back of a cabinet should appear raw and dry compared to the finished surface. With use, the legs of tables and chairs become weathered near the bottom from precipitation and use.
