Black Lacquer Dining Room Furniture

Our Chinese dining room furniture ranges have been specifically designed to create a wonderful Oriental feel within your dining room space. Within our Chinese dining room furniture range there are black lacquered dining room tables, with complimentary white leather carver dining room chairs. These have been beautifully upholstered in a luxurious creamy white leather which perfectly offsets the darkness of the black lacquer finish. To complete our range of Chinese dining room furniture, we also offer a range of Oriental black lacquered sideboards and Chinese black lacquered cabinets.

The black lacquer finish provides a strong dark base colour which is the perfect platform upon which to accessorise. We have chosen to upholster our dining chairs in cream as we feel this best displays the contrast and the depth of colour in the lacquered wood, but you could just as effectively choose dining room chairs upholstered in reds, greens or in gold depending on the décor of your room.

If you are looking for your dining room to present an authentic Chinese/Oriental feel, then we’d suggest the inclusion of reds and greens in your dining room colour scheme. The colour palette of your dining room would then consist of black, cream, red and green. Black corresponds with water in the Chinese tradition; cream/yellow represents the Earth, red signifies fire and green denotes wood or the power of nature. Combined, these colours will create a sense of balance and harmony which is a central theme in Oriental design.

Nature can play a further part in the décor of your Chinese style dining room with the inclusion of natural floors and natural cottons and silks covering the walls. In a traditional Chinese dining room, hard wearing materials like wood and stone topped with rush matting are often used for the flooring and walls are often draped in colourful cottons or silks. A well placed mirror will reflect the colours and the strength of the wood, whilst also enhancing the size and airiness of the space.

To complement our dining table and chair sets we stock a range of other dining room furniture pieces including black lacquer sideboards, black lacquer cabinets, console tables, side tables and mirrors, all of which have been finished to the same exacting standards. They are lacquer coated up to seven times and where appropriate, fitted with stylish antiqued brass flip up drawer handles and drawers that run smoothly on invisible metal runners.

White Lacquer Furniture

Our white lacquer furniture has been created to the same exacting standards and high quality as its black lacquered counterparts. At present featuring furniture pieces for the living room and bedroom, our white lacquer furniture range consists of white lacquer coffee tables, TV tables in white lacquer, sideboards and chests of drawers as well as bedside tables, night-stands, white lacquer beds, console tables, wall mirrors and wardrobes, all produced to the very highest standards and coordinating perfectly with one another.

Our white lacquered furniture range contrasts beautifully with the dark woods of some older houses and so will stand out well in these environments. It also looks equally at home when set alongside the lighter wood shades pine and ash.

The silky smooth, creamy linen white finish, of our white lacquered furniture will stand out well against a backdrop of rich dark reds, chocolate browns and mauves and it’ll look just as good set against other accent colours like blues, yellows and greens.

Chinese Accent Furniture Pieces

The use of accent colours within a room is a very popular, stylish and effective way of drawing the eye to a certain area, or to a specific piece of furniture. With this in mind, we offer a select number of highly prized, individual, hand crafted accent furniture pieces that will grace any living room, dining room or bedroom with their presence. Imagine, for example, your linen white lacquered living room furniture teamed with pastel blue soft furnishings and complimented by our beautiful Chinese Butterfly Cabinet.

This original early 20th century piece is hand painted in a modern and vibrant teal blue lacquer, with hand painted silver butterflies and flowers on the inside. It will complete your oriental living room making it a stylish haven of relaxation and calm.

Another accent piece is our Oriental butterfly cabinet. We created this piece to team with our black lacquer dining room set but of course you can pair it as you wish. It looks great with dark red accessories. Styled on a traditional Fujian Cabinet, this piece has been handcrafted using reclaimed Elm for the framework. The contemporary lacquer colour and beautifully hand painted Butterfly design create a unique piece of furniture which will grace any home.

Our final accent or feature piece is a beautiful deep black Chinese cabinet. Again, it’s an original early 20th century piece that’s been brought stunningly up to date with a modern and vibrant coloured lacquer, resulting in a piece that will sit happily in today’s contemporary home. With round brass face plates representative of eternity on the outside and a hand painted cascade motif in fuchsia pink and gold on the inside, it will form a stunning centrepiece to any room of the house.
