ANTIQUES - FURNITURE - BUDDHIST STATUES

You will find a wealth of religious and secular Asian artifacts in our Thailand and Burma sections, including unique Buddha statues made of various materials such as stone, wood, and metal. In these sections you can also find rare items such as antique weaponry, hand-made puppets, beaded tapestries, and bronze opium weights. We also have a collection of unique silver jewelry from the hill tribes of Asia found in our Asian Jewelry section. Opium pipes, antique musical instruments, armor, prayer beads, thankas, conch shells adorned with silver and jewels, and prayer wheels are included in our China and Tibet sections.

Our Chinese furniture is constructed from the finest quality wood. Much of it was created for the social elite and prosperous classes of China and is highly refined in design, construction, finishing, and decoration. During the Cultural Revolution in China, many pieces of furniture were passed on fr0m the elite to the peasant classes. These pieces were worn down by neglect and by the need to keep the furniture outside due to limited space in their homes. Our Chinese furniture ranges from pieces kept in pristine condition to charming, rustic pieces weathered by time.

British Colonial and Victorian Campaign Furniture can be found in our Burma section. Colonial furniture was made by Burmese craftsman for British families and is often simple in function and design with a British flare. Campaign or "knock down" furniture was created for officers to use during their travels across foreign lands. This furniture was mostly made from teak. Its dense nature creates an extremely weather resistant wood perfect for outside and inside furniture then and now.

To further satisfy the needs of our clients, in 2006 we introduced The Clipper Collection. This addition of modern yet timeless leather and upholstered furniture brings Clipper Trading Company full circle in delivering dynamic and eclectic home accessories.

Clipper Trading is proud to bring you our new "green-line" which can be viewed on this site or at woodartandfurniture.com. This new and exotic line of wood art and reclaimed wood furniture is most unusual in today’s market. Our “Eco-friendly” furniture consists of root wood benches and chairs, rosewood tables, ebony consoles, tamarind coffee tables, teak desk chairs and stools, root lamps, and more. Each piece is consciously made into naturally sculpted compositions. Hand- crafted from giant tree roots or tree trunks, the wood used in this line of furniture is what remains from forest maintenance projects developed years ago in Thailand and other Southeast Asian countries. Every piece of wood possesses its own natural artistry and no two pieces are ever the same.

The owners of CLIPPER TRADING COMPANY travel the world, primarily in Asia, to bring you the finest selection of goods, artifacts, and home accessories. From the tribes in Sarawak to the jungles of Burma, Thailand, or Laos and to the vast open spaces in China, Tibet, and Mongolia, CLIPPER TRADING COMPANY has brought the elegance of the Orient to the East coast.
