Rosewood - A Staple of Traditional Chinese Furniture

One of the most important materials in the creation of unique Chinese objects is a brownish wood with dark veining. Many types of wood fall under this category, and are referred to as Rosewood. Furniture made from this beautiful hardwood has a darkly elegant appearance, and the material is also used often for flooring, the creation of high-end musical instruments like violins and cellos, and even in traditional martial arts weapons like the "gun" staff used in wu shu demonstrations. ChinaFurnitureOnline.com recognizes the beauty of this material, and has used it to create many different items, including iconic designs like that of a traditional asian coffee table .

Today, techniques dating back to the Ming Dynasty are combined with modern technology in the production of rosewood furniture . This helps control both quality and cost.
