About the Item

A Chinese Provincial-style wooden butterfly cabinet from the 19th century, with carved spandrels, drawers, doors and faded oxblood patina. This sturdy and expressive coffer, called a butterfly cabinet, features a rectangular floating panel top sitting above three drawers, each with brass handles. Each drawer face is carved with intricate flowers and vines. Our eyes are drawn to the carved spandrels that decorate the sides and give the piece its distinctive profile. With its expressive carvings and bold stance, this late Qing Dynasty style butterfly cabinet is a great focal point in any room. The piece dates to about 1850 and came from Shanxi Province.
