About the Item

A late Qing Dynasty side chest from the early 20th century, with two drawers, carved motifs and double doors. This late Qing Dynasty Chinese side chest encapsulates the refined craftsmanship and aesthetic sensibilities of the period. With a rectangular top accentuated by a central board, the chest showcases two elegantly crafted drawers, each adorned with traditional hardware that complements its historic charm. Below, two intricately carved doors, embellished with scrolling motifs in low relief, unveil a spacious compartment designed for practical storage. The chest is supported by four straight legs, joined by a skillfully carved apron, enhancing its stability and aesthetic appeal. The honey brown patina that graces the entire piece adds a warm, inviting glow, evoking the richness of its heritage. Ideal for introducing a touch of late Qing Dynasty elegance into a contemporary setting, this antique Chinese chest can function as a striking sideboard in a dining area, a statement storage solution in a living room, or as an additional decorative yet functional piece in a bedroom or hallway. Its historic patina and exquisite carvings make it a centerpiece that harmoniously integrates with both traditional and modern decor, providing a versatile and beautiful addition to any home.

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...
