Questions About Chinese Elm Furniture
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    The Chinese elm (Ulmus parvifolia) is a hardwood, and it grows in hardiness zones 5b through 10a. Hardiness zones are ranges of climatic conditions in every part of the U.S.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Elm wood features a ranking of 830 on the Janka Hardness scale. Chinese elm is known to be the hardest variety of elm, and is often used for the handles of tools and sporting gear. Shop an array of Chinese elm wood pieces on 1stDibs.
  • PAGODA RED
    PAGODA REDOctober 7, 2020

    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.

  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Chinese-style furniture is usually called Chinoiserie. The term indicates furniture and decorative objects produced in Europe and North America that borrow design elements from pieces made in China and other East Asian countries. On 1stDibs, find a collection of Chinoiserie.
  • 1stDibs ExpertJune 15, 2023
    To care for Chinese lacquered furniture, wipe it with a damp cloth regularly. You can use a paste wax intended for use on lacquer finishes to restore shine, but avoid using harsh furniture polishes and cleaners on pieces. On 1stDibs, shop a range of lacquered furniture.
