Fine Chinese Trailing Vine Display Cabinet, c. 1850

About the Item

It's highly unusual to find a Qing dynasty display cabinet with this level of intricacy in its hand carved doors, rails, and side panels. Crafted in China's Hebei province in the mid-19th century, this exquisite cedar cabinet is expertly carved with lattice-like floral and trailing vine motifs and cloaked in a layer of rich dark lacquer. An ideal place to display jades, porcelain, and other esteemed scholars' objects, this cabinet likely stood as the centerpiece of a traditional scholars' studio, carefully selected as a source of beauty and creative inspiration.  Additional dimensions: Top shelf: 32.25" W x 17.25" D x 18.5" H Middle compartment: 32.25" W x 17.25" D x 22.5" H Bottom shelf: 32.25" W x 17.25" D x 20" H.
