This kind of furniture is a reproduction of Tibetan style furniture. and it is made by hand and painted by artists with oriental tastes and traditional styles. We can make the antique finishs as well as reproductions finishs .It is lavishly painted with vibrant colors, elaborate carvings, intricate gilding, The innovative raised gesso designs and metal fittings are among the most striking features of Tibetan furniture. Mineral pigments in red, green, orange, blue, yellow, black, and gold are commonly used. Decorative motifs depicting Buddhist symbols, such as the Three Jewels (Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha), the Eight auspicious symbols (lotus, endless knot, fishes, parasol, victory banner, vase, conch, wheel of Buddhist law), wealth or tranquility bestowing deities, power symbol creatures (intertwined dragon, lion, tiger, mystical qiling, or elephant, and birds), and the ritual offerings including flowers and fruits are vigorously abundant.
Tibetan monastic boxes or chests were originally used in the store rooms of monasteries to hold the brocades, hangings, ornaments, Cham costumes, masks and other precious objects that were not used every day. These chests were often offered to the monastery by a sponsor, so each donor would try to use the best materials and the best artists of the time to make the box a worthy offering. They were also commissioned by the monastic authorities themselves, and would have been painted by the thankha painters of that monastery. Often large amounts of gold and the best mineral colours were used in the execution, hence some of the best examples of Tibetan furniture decoration are found on these chests. Dragons, lotus flowers and flaming jewels are amongst the most popular motifs on the boxes.d luck stay.Furniture from Tibet has always been quite rare. Except for the wealthy, Tibetans used very little furniture in their homes, and the population of Tibet has always been so small that not much was ever made. Most of it was probably always found in the monasteries, and of course most of these monasteries were destroyed by the Chinese during the "Cultural Revolution" along with huge amounts of furniture. Made primarily from pine and other Himalayan soft woods, it is noted more for its sometimes lavishly painted surface and/or carved decoration than for its joinery.
