Antique Side Cabinet with Large Butterfly on Doors

About the Item

A Chinese Qing Dynasty cabinet from the 19th century with brass butterfly hardware, two drawers over a pair of double doors and distressed brown finish.

With a façade featuring two drawers gracefully positioned above a pair of double doors, the cabinet exudes an air of restrained opulence.

Within, the doors open to reveal inner shelves, offering convenient storage for an array of items. The lower section of the cabinet comprises a pierced apron with pillar strut motifs, resting on a humpback stretcher, lending a sense of balance and grace to the piece. On either side, recessed panels accompanied by humpback stretchers add depth and Dimension. Raised on four stately straight legs, the cabinet stands with poise and dignity. The cabinet's distressed brown finish accentuates the wood's natural grain, evoking a sense of timeless beauty. Though the back maintains a more rustic demeanor, it doesn’t detract from the piece’s allure. This Qing Dynasty cabinet, with its intricate details and storied heritage, makes for a sophisticated addition to any space, be it a modern loft or a traditional abode.
