Shimu Ltd

Shimu offers an exclusive range of traditional Chinese and contemporary oriental furniture, as well as an extensive selection of restored antique furniture sourced from the far flung regions of China.

Order online, by phone or at their showroom in the world heritage village of Saltaire, West Yorkshire.

Whether it is the graceful curves of a horseshoe chair, the subtle beauty of an antique Wedding Cabinet or the refined storage offered by the Chinese blanket boxes and CD chests, Shimu are sure you will find something in their selection of new and antique oriental furniture to give you pleasure for years to come.

If you can’t find what you are looking for on the Shimu website, please contact Shimu discuss the made-to-order service or source that special antique piece for you.

Each item on offer is handmade by craftsmen at the Shimu workshop in Shanghai, where traditional construction methods are used as far as possible.

Most of the designs are originals from the Ming period, but as you will see as you browse through the Shimu online catalogue, the timeless simplicity of these pieces means that they look perfectly in keeping with even the most modern home.
Other pieces are more contemporary in design to allow for greater functionality, but still hold fast to the spirit and traditions of the Ming style.

To add an extra wow factor to your home, Shimu also offer hand painted silk wallpaper, each creation being made to a design, size and colour scheme agreed by you, so that every resulting work is as unique as it is beautiful.
