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. Imbued with the rich heritage of Chinese craftsmanship, this 19th century Qing Dynasty cabinet is an exquisite blend of form and function. With a façade featuring two drawers gracefully positioned above a pair of double doors, the cabinet exudes an air of restrained opulence.

The pièce de résistance is undoubtedly the butterfly-shaped hardware embellishing the doors, combining ornate design with delightful, colorful inlaid spheres. This captivating hardware not only serves a functional purpose but also lends a touch of whimsy and elegance. 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.
