About the Item

A Chinese Ming Dynasty style wooden butterfly cabinet from the 19th century, with carved spandrels, drawers, doors and dark patina. Born in China during the 19th century, this exquisite coffer called a butterfly cabinet, features a rectangular planked top, sitting above two drawers, each adorned with geometrical motifs and fitted with brass hardware. Two doors below, pierced with lovely floral motifs, open to reveal two inner shelves offering convenient storage. Our eyes are immediately drawn to the carved spandrels that decorate the sides and present pierced motifs and scrolls tapering down the coffer's body and leading us to discover the scalloped apron that visually connects the frontal legs to each other. With its refined décor and dark patina, this Ming Dynasty style butterfly cabinet from the 19th century will be a great focal point in any home, perhaps placed in a living room, foyer or used as a TV cabinet in a bedroom, as an island in a kitchen or vanity in a bathroom.

Fine Antique Carved Cabinet Chest of Drawers Chinese Altar Temple Commode 18th C

Located in London, GB

An exceptional, stunning and extremely rare Chinese carved chest of drawers in wonderful antique condition. Most likely made in Northern China in the late-18th/early-19th Century, this superbly decorative and versatile eight-drawer cabinet will add knockout wow-factor as well as gorgeous colouring, superb quality and bygone Oriental splendour to any interior. A great size for a versatile piece, whether it's used as a hallway console cabinet, a decorative living room storage piece, a dining buffet or a bedroom chest of drawers, this exceptional and historically significant commode will impress in any setting. It's strong Mongolian and Qing Dynasty influences point to this stunning piece being made in Shanxi Province in Northern China. Traditionally crafted from reassuringly heavy, solid and wonderfully hued Elm & Cypress woods, displaying beautiful nutty-golden hues and wonderfully aged patination, this knockout chest of drawers has extremely rare and showstopping raised-relief carvings to the eight drawers. This staggering chest of drawers would have originally had the dual-purpose uses of household/temple storage as well as its top being used as an altar for daily worship rituals. It would have been painted and there are traces of vibrant red paint still visible to the carved fronts of the drawers, with crimson lacquer still on display to the sides. It features a fabulously hefty, mottled-lacquered top with inlaid centre above panelled sides and back. Supported by substantial legs, it has decorative lower and side aprons and eight outstanding, chunky and ornately carved drawers, each carving with its own significance, and aged brass handles with petal mounts. It's very rare for an antique Chinese chest...
