Here's something very new (well, if you consider almost 2000 years old to be new) and different for His Nibs.com. These Chinese paper art pieces (also known as paper cuts <G>), are all hand-cut and colored by artisans outside of Beijing, where this traditional art form has been continuously practiced for more than 70 generations! Listed below are just the first few of many subjects that we plan to carry in the future, which will include butterflies, dragons, Chinese blessings and zodiac, tigers, Xi'an Terracotta Soldiers, flowers, fan paintings, pandas, Yamato-e (classical Japanese painting), Dunhaung Flying Fairies, traditional country life, additional Peking Opera subjects, Chinese bronzes, etc., etc., etc.! The individual pieces are shipped un-mounted -- suitable for framing -- or they can be pasted on windows or walls as is the traditional method. Most complete sets are bound into little booklets, while framed subjects will be available in the near future. Please click below to read a more detailed description of the art form, and to see what's currently in stock. We hope to be adding categories on a regular basis, so please check back often. Any subject shown can be ordered quite quickly, and if you have a subject in mind, please inquire and let us see if it already exists!
• Exoticism: In Chinese culture paper-cuts symbolize the idea of blessedness, luck and fortune. Most Chinese families use them as window decorations and patterns, and for religious and decoration purposes.

Warranties and returns If an item proves to be defective, in most cases the manufacturer's warranty will apply. However, please email us first so that we can determine the easiest way to resolve the problem to your satisfaction. In the case of fountain pens -- which are a bit more individualistic than other writing instruments -- what may at first appear to be a defect (hard starting or poor flow for example), can in almost all cases be resolved with a few simple 'tweaks' to the nib, which we'll be happy to guide you through or perhaps suggest returning to us for adjustment. Should you wish to return a
non-defective item within 3 days of receipt because it doesn't suit
you for some reason, again please email us and we'll arrange an
exchange, credit or refund (minus any shipping/insurance charges),
if the item is returned in an 'as new' condition. If you've dipped a
fountain pen to try its writing characteristics, kindly clean off
any ink residue prior to shipping -- to save us both a nasty
surprise We want you to be happy with your purchase from HisNibs.com and hope to have you join the ranks of our many long-term, repeat customers!
