Four Piece Chinese Stacking Cabinet, c. 1930

About the Item

This refined, early 20th century stacking cabinet from Beijing commands its surroundings with grand scale, rich materials, and a timeless modular design. Constructed of northern elm (yumu) with traditional joinery, the cabinet is comprised of four separate, stacked storage compartments. The lowest compartment features a footed base and two shallow drawers, while the remaining three have identical designs that allow them to be reconfigured in any order. The stacking cabinet has a minimalist, square corner design, highlighting the beauty of a simple silhouette. The cabinet is cloaked inside and out with a red-brown lacquer finish, lightly faded along the edges from a century of use. Square brass hinges and lock plates accent the fronts with a metallic sheen, perfectly punctuating the warmth of the lacquer finish. Used as a tall compound cabinet or arranged as nightstands and side cabinets, this impressive cabinet set is a versatile storage solution in traditional and modern interiors alike. Cabinet pins are replacement. Additional Dimensions: Interior Drawers: 12.5"W x 21.5"D x 3"H Door Openings: 39"W x 23"D x 17"H

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...
