Many thanks to our customer Lisa for sending in this photo of her antique sideboard, now installed in its new home. Made from elm wood in the original dark finish, the sideboard has the heavy brass hardware distinctive of China's port city of Tianjin and dates to the late 19th century. It now has a new lease of life in Lisa's living room.

While this particular cabinet has been snapped up, we are able to source similar pieces from our network of suppliers in China. Get in touch if you would like us to find something for you.
