The Ming and Qing Furniture Gallery at the Shanghai Museum is a true treasure for design and craftsmanship lovers. This elegant exhibition showcases some of the finest examples of traditional Chinese furniture, highlighting the sophistication and precision of woodwork during the Ming (1368–1644) and Qing (1644–1911) dynasties.
The gallery displays rosewood chairs, lacquered cabinets, intricate screens, and scholar’s tables, each piece carved with graceful lines and perfect balance — a reflection of both function and art. The Ming furniture is known for its simplicity and harmony, while Qing pieces impress with ornate carvings and grandeur.
Walking through this gallery feels like stepping into an old scholar’s study, surrounded by timeless beauty and the quiet soul of Chinese craftsmanship.
