Chinese Triple Bat Book Cabinet, c. 1850
About the Item
This book cabinet was likely originally commissioned for a scholar's study to store important texts. The quality and craftsmanship is clear in the bold lines, elegant hardware, and traditional mortise and tenon joinery. But, the exquisitely carved details set this piece apart. Look closely at the ornate trim of the upper compartment and you’ll notice three bats—symbols of happiness and joy—set against a background of clouds.

- Chinese Painted Book Cabinet, c. 1850Located in Chicago, ILThis 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.
