Chinese Red Lacquer Shanxi Wedding Cabinet with Painted Motifs and Brass Lock
Located in Yonkers, NY
A Chinese red lacquer wedding cabinet from Shanxi Province, with hand-painted floral and object motifs, brass hardware, and interior storage. This rectangular cabinet stands on straight legs with a shaped apron and side stretchers, presenting a balanced, architectural silhouette softened by its richly aged red lacquer surface.
