Camphor Wood Lacquered Chinese Scholar Cabinet / Document Box, 'Qing Dynasty'
About the Item
A 19th century camphor wood lacquered Chinese scholar cabinet from the Qing Dynasty. It features original fittings which include side and drawer handles. This cabinet once belonged to a Scholar who used it to primarily store scrolls. Camphor wood was used to craft the cabinet to protect scrolls from insects as the strong smell of the wood acted as a repellant. It features a mix of shallow and elongated drawers. There are markings and scratches on the wood due to its more than 100 years of age and age related patina on the metal fittings.

The elaborately carved Elmwood panels originally decorated a mid-19th century wedding bed then incorporated into the custom Rosewood frame around the late 1800s-early 1900s. This incredible collectors piece of Chinese history was owned by a European diplomat in Shanghai China during the late 1800s and early 1900s. Documented in a large photobook of their home in Shanghai and their travels, this cabinet was an important piece in their collection and remained with their heirs until our acquisition. Some photos including the one showing this cabinet in their main room is displayed in the photo gallery of this listing. Many pieces owned by the diplomat collector were discarded or sold off over the decades whereas this important cabinet was passed on from generation to generation until we acquired it from a descendant of the diplomat collector. This cabinet would work great as a cupboard, breakfront cabinet, buffet, sideboard, bookcase or bookshelf, vitrine, étagère, china or display cabinet and would work great in an Asian, chinoiserie, Traditional, Transitional, Classical or Art Deco room. Also consider mixing it up with a splash of juxtaposition in a Mid-Century Modern, Scandinavian Modern or Danish Modern, Contemporary or Postmodern home...Category
