Caveat Emptor!
Chinese furniture has been one of my loves for over 40 years, and this stuff looks nice, but it doesn't look like anything I've seen in museums and books, neither domestic nor export.
Kind of strange to have the same hardware on pieces from different regions and periods. Wear patterns don't look right, either.
I could be wrong, but I'd look for certification before I bought any of that stuff as antiques. Of course at those prices, they don't have to be antique. The last authentic piece I sold was a simple mid 19th century stool, and I got close to $1000 for it.
