About the Item

Crafted in 19th-century Tibet, this extraordinary cabinet is beautifully decorated from end to end with hand-painted floral motifs. Brushed in a cool palette of green, red, blue and gold, the painted facade is a celebration of traditional artistry and harkens back to a bygone era. Hand-painted details reveal the artist's patience and skill, traceable in the intricate linework and tonal shading of every petal. The cabinet front consists of six inset panels, each painted with a round medallion of green leaves and red blossoms, reminiscent of poppies or peonies. A stylized shou character emerges from the petals of the centermost flowers, the symbol of longevity. The blossoms are enclosed by a border of blue geometric scrollwork interlaced with leafy vine tendrils and the surrounding frame is further decorated with red-and-green florals against a contrasting golden-yellow field. For use as a sideboard or buffet, the cabinet's originally closed front has been modified to open by four small, front-facing doors, revealing two interior compartments. The back, sides and top of the chest have been left undecorated, save for a layer of black paint that has faded with time to accentuate the underlying chiseled texture.

Tibetan Mountain Landscape Coffer, circa 1850

Located in Chicago, IL

This low two-drawer chest is a 19th-century coffer from northern China or Mongolia and was repainted with bright colors in the early 20th century in the style of Tibetan painted furniture. The top surface has been painted with verdant mountainous landscape dotted with grazing animals, colorful flowers and dancing figures. Crashing waves churn along a river in the foreground and plumes of smoke billow from hilltop fires in the distance. The front panels and drawers are painted with intricate scrollwork and ribbon-clad Buddhist auspicious symbols, including the parasol, the treasure vase, the conch shell, the endless knot, the pair of golden fishes, the banner of victory, and the wheel of life. These symbols of good fortune represent the offerings that were made by the gods to Shakyamuni Buddha when he attained enlightenment. The sides are painted with a lotus flower surrounding the Three Jewels...
