Chinese Black Lacquer Square Corner Cabinet, c. 1850

About the Item

With clean lines and a darkly lacquered finish, this square corner cabinet celebrates the restraint of classic Chinese furniture forms. Dated to the mid-19th century, the tall cabinet is crafted of elmwood with traditional mortise-and-tenon joinery and provides ample storage options, crafted with three interior shelves and two drawers. The cabinet is minimally decorated save for subtle carved accents and its glossy black lacquer finish, now richly textured from years of use. The expansive lacquered front is finished with the soft glimmer of its brass dagger-post lock plate and round hinges.

  • 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...
