Latest News…
Shimu now works with a leading supplier of silk wallpaper in China to bring this exquisite product into UK homes. Each creation is made to order to a design, size and colour scheme agreed with the customer, so that every resulting work is as unique as it is beautiful. The first stage involves choosing the background colour, after which the coloured silk is under laid with rice paper ready to be painted. Next, pattern options are discussed with popular choices including flowers such as roses or cherry blossom, bamboo, birds and butterflies. The workshop in China then produces a black and white sketch, scaled to match the dimensions of the space where your wallpaper will be installed. Once you are completely happy with the design, the wallpaper is produced in strips and is delivered with the original sketch so that your installer can easily fit the finished design. |

Notes to Editors...
Based on the pure, clean styles of the Ming Dynasty – China’s
golden age, Shimu offers the beauty & simple elegance of classical
Chinese furniture. Each item is handmade by skilled craftsmen in Shanghai,
using traditional carpentry methods. The furniture is produced using
reclaimed, local elm wood which has been seasoned and kiln dried. While
some pieces are hand-painted with traditional designs, most of the furniture
is available in a choice of finishes – warm elm, light elm or black
lacquer. In addition to these standard colours the company can provide
alternative finishes, to match a customer’s own colour schemes.
As well as the standard ranges, Shimu is also able to provide a bespoke
service and source individual antique pieces through their supplier
network in China. |
