About the Item

This provincial tapered cabinet dates to the early 20th century and was once used in a rural Chinese kitchen to store dish ware, baskets and other kitchen supplies. Crafted of pine with traditional mortise-and-tenon joinery, the tall cabinet has a lightweight design with a tapered A-frame, an overhung top and plenty of storage, including two drawers and two enclosed compartments. The upper compartment opens by two central doors secured with a brass latch on chrysanthemum plates and flanked by coin-shaped perforations, symbols of prosperity and blessings. The lower compartment opens by two sliding panel doors perforated with peach-shaped cutouts in lieu of handles, offering further blessings of longevity and abundance. The cabinet face has faded beautifully with time, soft to the touch and marked with crackled traces of the original red-brown lacquer finish. Iron rung drawer pulls are replacement.
