New Mother of Pearl shipment has arrived!
We will be adding our new products to our website in the next few weeks! Gorgeous! Gorgeous! Gorgeous! Beautiful mother of pearl wall hangings, vases and jewelry boxes. We were able to only get a couple of hand carved wood carvings of the Chinese warrior Kuan Kung riding a horse. We are not able to get anymore. Be sure to check it out! 
For some reason our shipment was in a container that US Customs has decided to hold since February 5th in Los Angeles for examination. It has gone through three exams that we are aware of. We sure would like to know what was in the container that triggered this extensive exam hold by US Customs!
We also got in a beautiful Reclining Buddha carved wood statue. This is a large size and hard to find. We hope you like it as much as we do.
Be sure to check out the decorative hand carved clay Stone Dragon opium pipe. This is a great collector's item! 19.5" Length! Would look great sitting on a fireplace mantle.

All of our furniture prices include the freight shipping cost to the United States lower 48 states. Most of our furniture weighs over 150 pounds each and requires shipping by freight. As most of you know, air ride freight shipping can be very expensive. We thought it would be easier for you to figure your cost if we included the shipping cost in our price! We did not figure the additional fees for remote areas, so a nominal shipping fee may be required. If the shipping cost included in the listed price does not include your location, please contact us for a shipping quote. It will be figured minus the shipping included in the listing.

Caring for your Stone Sculptures & Carvings
All jade and stone carvings/sculptures are wiped with beeswax or an oil substance to keep it moist before it is wrapped in a paper towel like packaging for shipping. Retail shops in China usually have small glasses of water inside the cases with their jade sculptures.
Stone does dry out and it is important to have a regular care routine for your sculptures. Just like you would have a humidifier in your home for all of your wood cabinets, trim and furniture to keep it from drying out and becoming brittle. I keep a small glass of water in my curio cabinets. Also, at least once a month, I wipe down my jade & stone sculptures with a furniture polish called Liquid Gold or a natural beewax polish. It enhances the colors in the sculpture and keeps it from drying out. If your B, C and D jade or stone sculpture starts to show signs of dry "spots" before the end of the month, you might want to start wiping it with the Liquid Gold or beeswax more often than once a month.
Do not use Liquid Gold on your white jade sculptures! Liquid Gold will turn your white jade yellow. I use a natural Beeswax polish for my white jade pieces. You might want to test a small section with your oil before applying it to see its reaction.
