Fully aluminium gates

-

TODAY, aluminium is one of the most widely used commercial metals in the world.

Its properties make it suitable for a vast array of applicatio­ns, from constructi­on solutions to high-tech designs.

It is widely known that aluminium does not rust, has excellent strength-to-weight ratio and is durable.

For these reasons, Malaysia’s leading decorative metal design company, CS Alloy Design (M) Sdn Bhd (CSA) uses aluminium to construct its gates.

It boasts a wide collection of design options. Particular­ly worth mentioning is the new Spring Gate Design featuring floral motifs and bamboo shoots.

CSA also offers customisat­ion to fulfil your specific requiremen­ts.

CSA provides exclusive benefits such as lifetime warranty for being rust-free, extended colour lifetime and extended auto-system lifetime.

The warranties mean substantia­l savings on maintenanc­e cost.

CSA gate owners can have peace of mind with CSA backing these warranties without any annual charge.

CSA offers the best products and specialist services possible.

CLASSICAL Ming style Chinese furniture exudes peace and serenity. Its fine forms and simple lines create a sense of clarity and balance in one’s surroundin­g.

The making of these distinguis­hed pieces dates to the disgruntle­d Chinese Ming scholars who were disillusio­ned with the political intrigues in court.

The decadence, wrought by ambitious eunuchs in the late Ming Imperial Court, caused scholars and poets to seek a more refined and peaceful life away from the politics.

They began to look towards designing furniture for their scholar’s studio, furniture that will uplift the spirit and lighten the heart. The designs were made along the lines of pure Chinese philosophy as espoused by the past sages.

Gandhara Sdn Bhd, a leading oriental antique specialist in Asia, showcases a vast array of classical Ming style Chinese furniture.

Located at Ampang Gallery, Kuala Lumpur, Gandhara will showcase an array of beautiful furniture, including Juwood, Lacquered and precious Huanghuali from classic Chinese furniture from March 9 to 24.

Armchairs, carved cabinets, classic bookshelve­s, display cabinets, elegant tapered or Wanli cabinets and portable chests can be found at the gallery.

From the northern official hat armchair to a multi-purpose bookshelf with four drawers, most of the items feature craftsmans­hip that are both intricate and harmonious.

Known for its distinctiv­e selection of quality oriental works of art, Gandhara features Chinese antique furniture, imperial robes, textiles, ceramic and Terracotta figurines of the Han, Ming and Tang dynasties.

The exhibition is inclusive of Cambodian sculptures, Indian sculptures, Japanese Okimono, Thangkas and antique Buddha images.
