Each piece of antique furniture has unique attributes in terms of wood
choice and the artistic talents of the carpenter as well as his fluency of
skill and craftsmanship.
In days gone by, the carpenter was
constrained by the rules and convention dictated in the "lu ban jin" (the
classic manual for carpentry, as well as architecture) but at the same time
was able to "create" something unique.
Therefore, Chinese antique furniture should be judged by the workmanship
involved in its original creation, and in its design, rather than solely
by type of wood.
