An inside look at a showroom where you’re bound to find unique pieces for your home.

Founded in the 1970s, Just Anthony is a familyrun treasure trove of Chinese antique furniture and accessorie­s guaranteed to add a touch of pizazz to your interior. With an emphasis on reliabilit­y, honesty and experience, the team meticulous­ly curate their monthly shipments, working only with long-trusted suppliers, artists and wood carvers in China’s Guangdong Province. Here’s a peek at what to expect in their 15,000-squarefoot showroom of dreams!

1 ANTIQUES & REPRODUCTI­ONS

Arguably the widest variety of Chinese furniture in Singapore, Just Anthony’s collection includes everything from wardrobes and sideboards, to coffee tables, bedside tables, benches and chests. Antiques are imported with the utmost care to ensure any handling or restoratio­n preserves as much of the original patina and condition as possible. In addition to the antique range, there are also reproducti­ons such as classic Mingstyle replicas and modern reproducti­ons of Chinese-style bookshelve­s and consoles with modern functions.

2 ART & ACCESSORIE­S

If you’re on the lookout for smaller ticket items, there’s an endless selection of table lamps, ceramic jars, stone statues and door panels that are perfect for those finishing touches. For your walls, check out the selection of hand-painted and embroidere­d silk wall coverings that can brighten up any room. The jewellery boxes, candle holders and lacquered trays make for great presents or house-warming gifts too.

3 CUSTOMISED PIECES

Not found the right piece? No problem, you can have an item custom-made to your choice of dimension, colours, finishes and hardware. You can even pick a piece in the store that you want to modify. The customisat­ion process usually takes two to three months, or up to six months for pieces with certain unique materials.
