There have been several very interesting blogsite articles on European/American furniture styles. In a future note, I will discuss a variety of websites useful for appraisals of Chinese furniture but I wanted to note here very briefly a website sales venue that has several sections which could be invaluable aids for “comps” when appraising modern Chinese furniture. The current information posted (announcing a 50% off sale period) on this site may disappear at any time, so printing it out as a resource is recommended.
You can get to it via several routes: http://www.easterncurio.com, or http://www.chineart.com or http://www.antiquesbeijing.com. The main website is the Eastern Curio one and there are “sub-sites” posted there. All are from factories located on mainland China.
In the D1 series section (Antiques Beijing), there are many modern reproduction furniture forms of the “home decoration” type we so often encounter – the armoires, the bedside chests, etc.; the D2 Series has oriental hardware (the brass fittings for wood and lacquer furniture). The D3 Series has mother-of-pearl screens and other furniture, and then D7 illustrates other types of inlaid screens and the large gilded screens and wall art of the type we all see in appraisals. The sites give dimensions and selling price, and generic descriptions of materials. Caution should be taken with the descriptions of the materials, since the Chinese definitions and the definitions accepted in the West often differ.

Relevant living room furniture information. People often seeks such information and I believe that this is the best discussion on the topic. And just for your information, in Indonesia we make some mahogany and teak furniture. You can visit my site to http://www.indo-furni.com
