Early 20th Century Sideboard from Tianjin, China
About the Item
An early 20th century sideboard from Tianjin province, China. This is the original colour which is a dark reddish brown, with the edges slightly worn to reveal the beautiful Elm wood underneath. This is often called a "Buddha cabinet" in China, it was possibly used to store Buddhist scriptures in the past. The brass hardware on this piece are old and the design is very typical of such Tianjin sideboards, simple and solid. The centre stile is removable so that large items can be stored.
Most Tianjin sideboards are either smaller (2 drawers, around 1 metre long) or much longer (around 140-160cm), so the size of this piece which is in-between makes this quite unusual.
Beautiful original colour and patina, finished with a semi-matte clear lacquer.
