About the Item
Gorgeous Late Qing Dynasty Indochina side chest, early 20th century, with carved apron and sides.
Combining utility and aesthetics, this late Qing Dynasty side chest effortlessly strikes a balance between classical artistry and practical design. Its versatility shines through, as it can function perfectly as a portable storage unit or as a side table, adapting to your needs and personal style.
Crafted with meticulous detail, the tabletop features a richly carved elm wood cartouche depicting a rural Asian scene where a farmer pulls oxen to cross a river toward a village. All of this is filled with details rich in symbolism and auspicious qualities. The tondo or cartouche is framed by dragons, as are the sides of the chest, which are depicted as dragon heads. The front of the chest displays a beautiful carved garland of camellias. The intricate apron stands out, meticulously carved with Chinese calligraphy motifs and various geometric shapes, adding a layer of elegance and sophistication.
The chest stands on four straight legs, whose slightly tapered lines culminate in distinctive claw-shaped ends, due to Western influence. A traditional design feature that enhances the table's visual appeal and was possibly made for export. A piece that adds a touch of historical richness to any setting.
In essence, this late Qing Dynasty chest or occasional cabinet is more than just a functional piece of furniture. It is a style statement that brings the grandeur of the historical periods of China and Vietnam to contemporary living spaces, effortlessly blending past and present in its design.

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...
