Chinese Lacquer and Painted Cabinet with Dreamstone Insets, Qing Dynasty, 19th c
About the Item
A demure and elegant Chinese tall lacquer cabinet with painted flower panels and dream stone insets, Qing Dynasty, early 19th century, Gansu Province, China.
The tall cabinet of elegant proportions and usual design. The most striking detail of the cabinet is the set of three carved and painted stylized lotus blossoms to the lower register. Carved in low relief, the blossoms curve upwards from ruyi shaped leaves rising from a thin stalk. The blossoms painted in a wonderful muted red/pink against a chalk washed ground.
Above, on either side of the doors, are a pair of inset dream stone panels. Dream stone, also called Dali marble, is a high quality marble that is prized for its highly figured veining, often evoking traditional Chinese literati shanshui ink paintings.
A pair of large doors open outwards to reveal a simple interior with ample storage and a single shelf and false bottom. A small trap door allows access to the large hidden storage space below.
A series of three drawers above the double doors completes the cabinet.
The simple hardware seems to be a late 19th century replacement. Outlines of the original hardware can be seen.
The cabinet is finished in a subtle reddish brown lacquer.

- Large Chinese Carved and Lacquered Buddha, Qing Dynasty, 19th CenturyLocated in Austin, TXA large and magnificent near life-sized Chinese carved and lacquered wood figure of a Buddha, Qing Dynasty, 19th century or earlier, southern China. The figure likely represents one of the Five Tathagatas, also known as Dhyani Buddhas or Wisdom Buddhas. More specifically, either Amitabha or Amoghasiddhi. Amitabha is the Buddha of infinite light, and represents the wisdom of observation and recognition. Amoghasiddhi is the Buddha of accomplishment, and represents the wisdom of perfected practices. The size and scale of the Buddha indicates it was made for temple worship. The large Buddha is portrayed seated in vajrasana, or full lotus position, with the soles of both feet facing up. His elegant hands, with impossibly long and slender fingers, perform shuni mudra, the gesture of bestowing patience. His right arm is bent at the elbow, the right hand raised to heart level. The left arm resting gently in his lap, the left hand at navel level. The Buddha is dressed in voluminous robes that wrap around his shoulders and body, and tied at the waist. The heavy fabric draping and pooling elegantly all around his robust body. His broad chest and right arm exposed. The Buddha's face is both solemn and beatific - his expression seeming to change depending on the angle of view. The most notable feature of his face is the large urna to the center of his forehead, set between a pair of painted, high arching brows over heavily lidded almond shaped eyes. A strong nose is set above a small mouth pursed in an ever so slight smile. Long pendulous earlobes touch his shoulders. The Buddha's hair arranged in the typical fashion, with "spikes" representing tight curls. A prominent ushnisha rises from the crown of his head, covered by more hair, and topped with a rounded protuberance. The Buddha is constructed from several blocks of wood, joined, carved and lacquered a deep red-brown with gold flecks...Category
