sam tat? their cheapest screen is $600+ if i m not wrong.

rosewood good to invest, you can get back at least 50% or more if you choose to sell it in future.

but i would recommend normal wood ($250-$400) chinese screens(4 panels) unless you are really hardcore rosewood lover.

yep rosewood is very good wood, i have a bookcase made of rosewood ...

r e a l l y h e a v y

but seriously dunno what is market price for such stuff .. in another thread leen did mention that some of these artwork from PRC is quite cheap there but price inflated when reach Sg ... if you're interested can check out Dragon Export at Chinatown opp the Indian Temple, having gone to quite a few of such shops, found this one the most reasonably priced.

good luckz

some places to check out is Oriental Handicraft as Henderson industrial park (near scanteak), SIngapore Handicraft at Eunos, Gnee Hong at bencoolen (until end of the month) and the place skweerel mentioned. i'm gonna check out that place too !!

Initially i want to buy camphone screen, but when i go to feel the wood, it gives me a light and cheapskate feeling. Lucky i never buy. Then these 2 days i off, go jalan jalan, i saw this shop selling rosewood screen at paya lebar. One look i fall in love with it. The wood is heavy, it can stretch to 213 cm long and the finishing so beautiful. One side mother of pearl, one side with flowers( dont know what 4 seasons flowers)........

Its not at samtat, samtat abit expensive............I also check out oriental and justanthony. then i realise many shops now never sell screens anymore. I saw a similar one at yahoo auction selling at $8000 now. I faint.....anyway i bought already last nite already. Cos the boss quote me last price at $2000 and it is really the last piece.....i go home a happy man...........mayb there r cheaper one elsewhere........but i really like this rosewood screen...........i am flying, heehee.

Hi Mace,

Seems like u also like rosewood furniture. My love with rosewood furniture begin with my primary school bestfriend house. During my school days, when I go his house, i always got this grand feeling........anyway that shop i patronise is somewhere opposite justanthony. I go there 3 times then i buy. The boss very sincere and unscheming type.

Actually, these 2 days i off, so I intend to follow forumers direction and go justanthony but my wife notice another ulu shop nearer to the bus stop that we drop off. So we intend to take a look inside the shop cos lazy to cross the road.....

After i saw the rosewood screen in the shop, it already conditioned my mind. Whatever screen i saw at justanthony cannot move me. Even the lady at Justanthony tell me new stocks coming at the end of the month cannot move me. I tell my wife i will give up buying new nokia N95 hp just to buy this rosewood screen.

i will take a picture and post it when it touches my clementi new house around december. Cheers...

Hi applefreak,

its somewhere opposite just anthony. A ulu shop and not as famous as Justanthony. But the uncle very nice type and the price can slash here slash there but must stop before u annoyed him the shop also do touch up for your old rosewood furniture.

I am not a spendthrift person but this screen really melt my heart....sad lah, there goes my plan to buy a nokia N95 hp.

[applefreak 1]

do you have the address, should be on the invoice

i dun know where is justanthony

honestly, i find nokia phones' value drop way too fast

can you imagine you buy the phone now, think next year got no resale value liao

but the screen you can sell probably at 50% discount 20yrs down the road

or maybe wood prices increased so much you can actually make a profit out of it :sport-smiley-003:

Now i know mace is a rich man........u live near there.........that place mostly private property plus the house all very big type.................now i more envy of u..........now i remember last time army always say, dont compare

i also dont know that shop got sell screen, outside they mostly sell chairs and tables and altar. But i walk deep inside the shop, then i saw this rosewood screen which arrested my attention..........keep shouting at me to bring it home. I ask the boss to show my other design, he says no more liao. Cos they stop producing already and want to focus on chairs, tables and etc. Go take a look, the things not expensive plus the boss so sincere.
