WHY HOMEOWNERS LOVE EMPEROR’S ATTIC

-

AWARD-WINNING

• The brand offers fantastic furniture pieces as well as exemplary customer service. Its home delivery is quick and free, and it also offers storage for those needing to wait a while for delivery as well as after- sales care/repair by an experience­d restorer/carpenter.

ARTISANAL

• The brand’s furniture, hand- crafted using traditiona­l carpentry methods and resilient wood, is always clearly labelled with their age, origin, and materials. It employs an independen­t expert in Chinese antiques and furniture constructi­on with 30 years of experience in this field, to ensure none of the pieces are misreprese­nted. • As the availabili­ty of old pieces dwindles, small restoratio­n workshops have taken to making new pieces from both new and reclaimed wood. Traditiona­l carpentry methods are combined with beautiful and sometimes experiment­al lacquer finishes to create one- ofa- kind pieces. • Ceramics are brought in from artisan- run potteries in Jingdezhen or Chaozhou. Works by several locally based artists such as Louise Hill, Deborah Mckellar, Sandra Macheroux, and Diana Francis are also on sale here.

AFFORDABLE

• The brand does its best to keep prices as low as possible. You would be hard- pressed to find better value for money elsewhere.
