A 19th Century Chinese Cinnabar Panel Inlaid Hardwood Cabinet

About the Item

A 19th Century Chinese Cinnabar Panel Inlaid Hardwood Cabinet. This marvelous piece showcases a harmonious fusion of artistry and craftsmanship, exuding timeless elegance and allure. Gracing the cabinet are four meticulously crafted cinnabar inserts, two adorning the doors and two placed on the sides. The front facing cinnabar panels showcase a delicately hand-carved depiction of nature's enchantment. Behold a captivating scene that transports you to a forest, where your gaze is drawn towards a majestic, weathered tree. Its branches, adorned with an array of leaves, flowers, and even intricately carved fungi on the lower limb, create a mesmerizing tapestry of botanical splendor. At the pinnacle of this marvel, delicate roses bloom, with buds just beginning to unfurl right at the top. The naturalistic carving, inspired by the botanical wonders of the world, is executed with utmost precision and attention to detail. A uniform, intricately carved pattern serves as a backdrop, further enhancing the visual impact of the tree limb. Both front panels are flawlessly carved with matching scenes, embodying a sense of balance and visual harmony. Adding to the captivating allure of this cabinet, two pairs of stylized phoenixes grace the cinnabar sides. These mythical creatures, with their beaks delicately touching in a mirrored fashion, emanate majesty. Their plumage gracefully curls upwards towards an elegantly stylized botanical pattern. The wooden legs have simplistic yet masterfully carved scrolls adorning either side that not only provide structural support to the piece, but they also contribute to an overall framing element. China, Circa: 1880
