About Us "Four Winds Culturalliving"

Four Winds Culturalliving was established in 1996 in Litchfield Connecticut bringing a touch of Chinese Culture to New England. Owners Marga and Robert Snoeij were collecting Chinese Antiques for many years and decided to open a gallery in 1996. After being successful for so many years, traveling to China and handpicking beautiful pieces for your home, we now also offer over 5000 Antique items through our website www.culturalliving.com  Please be confident to order from these catalog pages, all items are in wonderful condition and a feast for the eye, we guarantee it.

Whether your style is traditional, modern or a fusion of both, Four Winds "Chinese Antiques"’ latest antique collection of Chinese & Oriental Furniture offers something for everyone. 

Four Winds "Chinese Antiques"’ designers have taken the graceful simplicity of the classic Chinese designs and combined them with a modern twist.

Four Wind's latest Antique Chinese Furniture collection is also incredibly versatile and most items work well in all areas of the home. Some of the more antique pieces are even multi-functional. Take the cubed coffee table which cleverly divides into four so when you are in need of extra space you can scatter each section and use as side tables, plant stands, tea tables or even as meditation platforms! Four Wind's new collection of Chinese & Oriental Furniture includes cabinets, coffee tables, chests, sideboards, drawers, stools, side tables, screens and console tables finished in an array of colors.

Four Winds "Chinese Antiques" also boasts a fabulous Classical Furniture range which consists of Chinese & Oriental Antiques. Highlight’s from Four Winds "Chinese Antiques' latest shipment include a range of elegant altar tables, an assortment of beautifully carved screens and chests and a wonderful selection of sideboards. “We are especially delighted with our finds this time around,” says Marga Snoeij, Owner of Four Winds "Chinese Antiques". “Not only are there some different and unusual pieces, there is also a real history to the furniture. Our philosophy is always to refinish rather than restore the Chinese furniture we find - that way the existing patina is enhanced and the history of each piece can shine through, giving a unique insight into the changes in Chinese society over the last century. Four Wind's Chinese & Oriental furniture collection holds an extraordinary cultural value as well as making warm and lively additions to a living space."

In addition to the extensive Chinese Antique & Classical Furniture Collections Four Winds also offers an increasingly popular accessories range. Latest additions to their already irresistible collection of home accessories include Chinese silk notebooks, Oriental ginger jars and bowls, Chinese silk photo albums and the more unusual Chinese antique accessories including wedding baskets, rice scoops and fishing pots. “You don’t have to spend a fortune to change a room. A visual impact can be created with unusual and eye-catching accessories” says Marga. “Take our new range of stylish Oriental ginger jars for example. Place one of these on a sideboard and you have created a focal point. All it needs is one dramatic piece and the setting is transformed”. Exclusive to Four Winds, the accessories collection also offers great gift ideas for all manner of occasions.ds y
