Fine Chinese Trailing Vine Display Cabinet, c. 1850
About the Item
It's highly unusual to find a Qing dynasty display cabinet with this level of intricacy in its hand carved doors, rails, and side panels. Crafted in China's Hebei province in the mid-19th century, this exquisite cedar cabinet is expertly carved with lattice-like floral and trailing vine motifs and cloaked in a layer of rich dark lacquer. An ideal place to display jades, porcelain, and other esteemed scholars' objects, this cabinet likely stood as the centerpiece of a traditional scholars' studio, carefully selected as a source of beauty and creative inspiration.

- Chinese Painted Book Cabinet, c. 1850Located in Chicago, ILThis 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.
