At Humble House in Canberra, New South Wales, Australia, our passion and joy is in collecting genuine old and antique furniture. Our craftsmen at Humble House believe it an honour and privilege to work with such pieces and use a combination of conservation and restoration techniques to bring the furniture back to life in a condition that ensures its longevity.
Good quality Antiques are always in demand. The value of an item includes criteria such as authenticity, rarity, the materials used and its condition. Furniture that is built to last will only retain that status if it has received appropriate care and treatment. Such pieces enhance the lives of the present owner, and they also grow in value forming an inheritance for the appreciation of future generations and society as a whole.
Chinese antique furniture displays an attitude of beauty and perfection. It is an ingenious engineering achievement harmonising natural timber with the creative abilities of man to create beautiful yet functional pieces of art. These are living objects and restorable after decades or even centuries of use. They showcase the quality and sophistication of ancient Chinese workmanship.
Humble House in Canberra, New South Wales, is dedicated to bringing this furniture to life. Each piece, after a careful restoration is an object of inspiration to remind us of human spirit and creativity.
At Humble House we acknowledge and respect the skill of the cabinetmaker and the pieces they produced all those years ago. We understand that furniture wears with age, every mark shows how the piece was used. It is this patina acquired over many years that gives the furniture its individual characteristics and special appeal.
