About the Item

A Chinese red lacquer wedding cabinet from Shanxi Province, with hand-painted floral and object motifs, brass hardware, and interior storage. This rectangular cabinet stands on straight legs with a shaped apron and side stretchers, presenting a balanced, architectural silhouette softened by its richly aged red lacquer surface. The two doors are framed within a molded panel and adorned with faded decorative imagery, including vases on stands, scholarly objects, and floral compositions, rendered in subtle gold tones that echo through the surface patina. A traditional brass lock plate secures the doors, which open to reveal a shelved interior with two drawers and a hidden lower compartment tucked beneath a removable panel. Traditionally, cabinets of this type were gifted to brides and used to store dowry items or household linens. This example retains its original function and design details, including the internal layout typical of wedding cabinetry. With its vibrant lacquer, decorative symbolism, and worn elegance, this Shanxi cabinet offers both visual interest and versatile storage, making it well suited to a living room, entryway, or bedroom setting.
