- Besides lattice door panels from Zhejiang province, we actually now carry a wider selection of antique doors, from Zhejiang, Fujian, Chaozhou and Shanxi. They can be hung on the wall as a wall feature, or hinged together to form a dramatic room divider, or made into unique walk-in wardrobe doors, or pantry doors. The texture and original colour of these old doors have a lot of character and style, they’re sure to make a statement!
- Hand-painted Tibetan-style pieces. As antique Tibetan pieces are very difficult to source, we carry a range of reproduction hand-painted Tibetan-style furniture: coffee tables, mirror frames, bedside cabinets and storage cabinets.
- Repainted antique sideboards from Gansu and Shandong Provinces offer generous storage whether for linen, cutlery or books, and add a rugged charm to any room.

Hand-picked vintage furniture from Rajasthan
The team at Originals believe that furniture should tell a story – and their Nomad India collection does exactly that. It’s a celebration of heritage, craftsmanship and timeless design, and the result of 17 years of journeying through the remote regions of Rajasthan in search of vintage treasures. These are pieces with soul, history and the ability to transform a space. Each item is hand-picked and restored by skilled artisans, ensuring it retains its original character while being ready for modern living.

Among their favourite finds are vintage India cabinets, once found in everyday homes across Northern India. Each teak cabinet bears the marks of time, from layered Diwali paint to subtle, timeworn details that add to its charm.
Their vintage teak consoles and mirrors, meanwhile, are crafted from salvaged Indian architectural elements such as old door frames and carved columns. These intricately carved pieces now serve as distinct feature accents with a story to tell.
To complement these larger pieces are vintage wooden accessories such as traditional candle stands, crafted with antique metal bases.
Tips for buying antiques in Singapore
