About the Item

A Qing Dynasty period compound elmwood cabinet from the 19th century, with reddish brown lacquer and traditional brass hardware. This Qing Dynasty period compound elm cabinet from the 19th century exudes both elegance and functionality, combining a linear silhouette with a rich reddish-brown lacquer finish that enhances the natural grain of the elmwood. Comprising two stacked pieces—a taller lower cabinet and a shorter upper one—this cabinet offers ample storage while preserving a refined aesthetic. The doors, two smaller ones above and two larger ones below, are adorned with traditional brass medallions featuring pear-shaped handles, an auspicious Chinese motif symbolizing good fortune and prosperity. Opening to reveal three inner shelves and two hidden drawers, the lower section provides practical storage space for a variety of items, such as books, documents, clothing, or fine china, while maintaining an air of sophistication. The warm patina of the lacquer finish adds to the cabinet’s charm, making it a versatile piece that can fit seamlessly into many home settings. With its clean lines and tall proportions, this Qing Dynasty compound cabinet will serve as an exotic yet functional storage unit in most rooms. Whether placed in a living room, dining room, or bedroom, this piece brings both a historical presence and practical elegance, effortlessly elevating the decor.
