We bring Asia home to you!
Chinese Antique Doors and Windows
Certain construction elements possess a design beauty all their own, whether or not they were originally meant to do so. From the large, exposed nails and iron hardware on exterior antique Chinese doors to the intricate hand-carved openwork on antique Chinese window shutters, the wonders of these superbly incorporated architectural details are nearly endless.
Regardless of their previous function, EuroLux Antiques seeks out Chinese architectural elements whose unique artistry makes them worthy for use in and around your home.
Common Motifs in Chinese Antique Architectural Elements
Some motifs used in Chinese antique architectural elements are quite recognizable. Dragons and delicate flower blossoms, for instance, are typically associated with Chinese design.
Other motifs are less known to American collectors and these include the scrolling clouds found on our antique Chinese wall hanging (originally part of a traditional Chinese bed.) It is believed that the clouds, and the figures within them, are the Eight Immortals -- an important group of mythological beings whose images are often portrayed in antique Chinese architectural elements.
Other antique Chinese doors and windows exhibit intricately carved geometric grids encompassing figures of fruit, flowers, birds, bats and dragons -- all of which have significance in the Chinese culture.
Chinese Architectural Elements: Perfect in Any Setting
Admirers of Chinese antique architectural elements find they work as beautifully in modern interiors as they do in more classic settings. The richness of the aged woods and the exotic feel of many of the designs combine to make these pieces suitable for hanging, tabletop display -- or for use as they were originally intended. Whatever your choice, these antique Chinese architectural elements will be long-treasured by you and long-remembered by your guests.
