Much of this stylish, high-quality furniture is designed in-house; it is often custom made and is very much in demand by five-star hotels.

Overall, the concept blends Oriental, tropical and minimalist design. Many of the traditional furniture designs are Dutch inspired Javanese, enhanced with whimsical charm and often embellished with intricate hand carvings of flowers and birds. The teak timber comes from Java, from youngish trees 20-30 years old. The product of mature trees is rare, expensive and environmentally unacceptable as it is not a sustainable resource.

However, some of our rustic pieces that have been fashioned from old teak planks salvaged from demolished buildings of the Dutch Colonial era. The natural colour of teakwood is a richly grained golden brown, but it can also be tinted by applications of oil, or stained to suit the distressed patina and heavier antique style. One of the beneficial properties of genuine teak is that it is resistant to termites.

'Christophoras' is an extraordinarily beautiful, richly grained, teak dining table, which focuses on the natural splendour of the material through the craftsmanship of a solid top fashioned from a single piece of wood. The table's well-balanced, simple yet sophisticated design combines sensuality, proportion and exotic contours, enhanced by masterful joinery. This product is an exquisite piece of furniture that is durable, enduring and conceived to become vintage.

Please browse our catalogue of teakwood antique and antique style furniture and accessories, ranging from rustic tables, chairs and benches created from tree roots, as well as tree stump stools, to more classic fine dining styles. Each one of these cherished pieces has a warm presence and a relaxed beauty that would complement anyone's home.

I found this antique...?

while cleaning out my great grandmas house. It's a green tree frog ceremic and it says GERMANY 1759 on it. I've looked everywhere online to try to find it and can't find it anywhere. I've googled antique frog, and GERMANY 1759 and I get nothing. Any suggestions on how to find out what it is, or what it could be worth?

Take this to an antique dealer that you can trust, As a matter of fact, try a couple of them. I think you have some money in your hands. Don't let anyone keep it over night or anything like that, keep it in your sight.
