Yes, you can paint your Chinese cabinet, though unless it is in poor condition, doing so is usually frowned upon. You will have to sand down the surface beforehand, as most Chinese cabinets have a lacquer finish.
A Chinese wedding cabinet is a general term to refer to any number of large armoire type cabinets with two large doors and fitted with shelves and usually a false bottom. True wedding cabinets will have auspicious paintings, such as butterflies or flowers, or even boys, covering the doors and frame.
Generally speaking, antique Chinese cabinets are very well made, using solid wood with joined construction. Vintage and modern Chinese cabinets will generally not be of the same high quality as antique pieces.
