Chinese Two-Door Cabinet, c. 1850

About the Item

Classic Chinese furniture design is characterized by the flawless construction, purity of line, and dedication to detail you see here in this two-door cabinet. This beautiful elmwood cabinet was created in the mid-19th century by an artisan from China's Hunan province using traditional mortise and tenon joinery methods, without the use of nails or screws. We were drawn to the subtle rounded corners and unique open compartment that sets this cabinet apart from its contemporaries. With clean lines and a richly aged finish, this tall cabinet emits a subtle beauty that remains timeless.

    This lacquered display cabinet from Shanxi province was crafted in the mid-19th century using traditional mortise-and-tenon joinery methods. The enclosed lower half was used for general storage and the open upper shelf was used to display precious objects such as vases, curios, or piles of books. The exterior is darkened by a black lacquer finish and hand-painted with charming decorative motifs, including bronze censers, flower vases, scrolls, and scholars' objects. Original brass hardware secures the doors, now richly aged with a smooth patina and subtle oxidation.
