Our travels take us to various parts of Asia, where we search for old and antique items. China and India are primary sources, but Nepal, Indonesia and other destinations are additional sources. All pieces are one-of-a-kind. Many are old, some are newly made using old woods, some are new made to look old; all are chosen for their decorative individuality. As with all of our products, inventory is constantly changing. We have tried to provide you with a sampling of the diversity at J.M. SORKIN.
