The “Charm of Ming Dynasty” Ming-style furniture exhibition, sponsored by Ningbo Yongming Rosewood Furniture Co. Ltd., was started on July 25 at Ningbo Museum, where over 100 pieces of exhibits demonstrate the living style of the ancient people.

The Ming-style furniture, which dated back to the mid-Ming Dynasty, usually has the rosewood as raw materials and is globally famous for its beautiful style, rare material and exquisite structure, entitled as the pearl on the crown of the ancient furniture of China. At the exhibition, the furniture pieces of the study, sitting room, tea room and bedroom show the visitors the great beauty of the furniture art with the elegant style, exquisite technique and jade-like appearance.

Noticeably, some special furniture pieces with mortise-tenon connections, bronze decorations, soft drawers and the polishing technique are also on display this time. An interactive room is established at the exhibition hall to give the visitors enough opportunities to touch the Ming-style furniture in person, to have some insight into the development and cultural content of the Ming-style furniture and to experience the charm of the traditional culture and craftsmanship. The exhibition will be held until August 13
