- Huanghuali Wood - Huanghuali is the most sought-after timber used in the construction of Chinese furniture because of its fine colour and grain.
During Ming and early Qing dynasties, most of the best furniture was made from huanghuali wood.

In recent years, furniture made from huanghuali wood has increased exponentially in value. - Cartouche - An ornamental panel in the form of of a shield, oval or rectangular scroll with curling edges.
