One of the best things about Chinese New Year is that there is 7 days to celebrate. And today is the 3rd day.
One of the traditions about Chinese New year is to burn incenses to worship ancestors and pray for the best for the new year. The experience is just absolutely beautiful.
For this year, we created a series of interiors featured with Chinese antique and Chinoiserie styles to celebrate the year of the rooster. For this particular dining set in the following video, the inspiration comes from the tradition that Chinese burn incenses to worship the kitchen god on the 3rd day of the Festival. The set features with antique Huanghuali arm chairs, Ming dining table, pagoda chandelier chinoiserie wallpaper and Louis XVI gilded mirror.
