About the Item
An Indonesian polychrome dresser from Madura with carved drawers and verdigris highlights. Emanating a breathtaking fusion of vivid colors and exquisite craftsmanship, this 19th century Indonesian polychrome dresser from Madura is the quintessence of ornate island artistry. With its meticulously carved floral motifs accented by a striking green color, this dresser becomes more than a piece of furniture; it's an enchanting tale from the northeastern coast of Java.
The dresser's rectangular top, adorned with beveled edges, provides a regal platform for the magnificent art below. The facade boasts three drawers – two gracefully proportioned ones topped by a larger, commanding one. Each drawer is intricately adorned with gilded floral carvings that flourish against the green background. The brilliant interplay of gold, green, brown, and red creates an artistic tableau reminiscent of the lush Indonesian landscapes.
Adding to the dresser’s charm, the piece is elevated on elegant, short scrolling feet that are adorned with meticulously carved masks. These feet are connected by an apron that is equally decorated on three sides, framing the dresser with ornamental exuberance.
At $1,600 per dresser, these extraordinary Madurese pieces are poised to become the centerpieces of any living room or bedroom, infusing them with a rich tapestry of culture and master craftsmanship.

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...
