Lamps And Carpets In Beijing
Take unique and high quality Tibetan carpets back home
In the northeast of Beijing lies an antique market near the Beijing Taiyue Suites Hotel. Yesterday I went there and found a shop carrying Tibetan carpets and classical furniture. Their fantastic carpets can make your home even more lovely.
I saw a huge display of carpets and tapestries in that shop. All of them are soft and warm to the touch, and they have different beautiful colors and patterns.
What’s amazing is that all of them are completely handmade!
Touching a carpet, it’s so soft and warm. If you put one of them in your room, it would be a great decoration for your house!
Their old Tibetan-style furniture is also very popular, especially among Westerners. My favorite one is a hand-painted red cabinet with the patterns of a beautiful butterfly.
You will also find many European-style tapestries in this shop, all of which are exquisite and gorgeous.
Such beautiful handmade lamps!
I visited an Art Market near the Avic Hotel yesterday, and here I recommend a lamp shop named “Ren He Rong Yi”.
I was initially attracted by its lamps, which were covered with wooden decorations. I liked it as this is not just art, but also useful. The solid wood was inlaid with strips of copper, silver, or silk. Traditional Chinese paintings nicely painted the lamps.
From my talk with the shop owner, Mr. Xu, I was astonished that he and his wife designed and made all items in the shop. They also have a small factory in Beijing where everything is made. He even showed me his painting skills on the spot!
Besides lamps, they also have many other works of art, like wood carvings, jad cravings, and stone paintings. Everything there is handmade, and they accept custom orders. If you would like a custom-designed carving, don’t miss this chance to order your favorite decorations.
Even thought their products are so exquisite, the price is not very high; you can even pay as little as 400 CNY for one of these traditional Chinese lamps!
