In our antiques centre here at Crimple Hall we have this beautiful Chinese Dragon Daybed in a Distressed Teal finish. The three-sided bed is called luohan chuang or monks bed. This type of day-bed has strong associations with the scholars studio as a place to sleep, recline or sit with books and scrolls. The three sides distinguish it from other bed types and it is this design that allows it to function as a couch during the day and a bed at night. The sides can be a simple railing or solid panels on which motifs are carved. Unlike the dragons of Europe, the Chinese dragon symbolizes benevolence, prosperity, longevity and the renewal of life. Ancient Chinese believed the dragon brought rain, good harvests and fertility. This beautiful dragon daybed has been lovingly restored by our time served craftsman who takes great pride in the experience acquired over the last 25 years. Only the best quality paints and varnishes are used for our highly skilled restorations.
