Chinese Four-Panel Cabinet, c. 1850

About the Item

The Qing-dynasty cabinetmaker who designed this handsome two-door cabinet was a master of their craft, and elevated the joinery to a new artistic level. This monumental Chinese cabinet was constructed with mortise and tenon construction, without the use of a single nail or screw. The beauty of the cabinet is not only in the elegant lines and highly polished wood, but in the complex joinery concealed beneath the surface.

  • Chinese Painted Book Cabinet, c. 1850
    Located in Chicago, IL
    This lacquered display cabinet from Shanxi province was crafted in the mid-19th century using traditional mortise-and-tenon joinery methods. The enclosed lower half was used for general storage and the open upper shelf was used to display precious objects such as vases, curios, or piles of books. The exterior is darkened by a black lacquer finish and hand-painted with charming decorative motifs, including bronze censers, flower vases, scrolls, and scholars' objects. Original brass hardware secures the doors, now richly aged with a smooth patina and subtle oxidation. Unusual for its smaller scale, we love this painted cabinet in a children's bedroom or playroom as an unexpected bookcase or toy chest...
