Chinese Paneled Storage Cabinet, c. 1650

About the Item

This is an exquisite example of a 17th century square corner cabinet, constructed with masterful mortise and tenon joinery. It features two paneled doors attached with small barrel hinges, a reference to traditional cabinets designs from thousands of years prior. The removable center rod between the doors is intended as a firm point to attach a lock, keeping doors neatly shut and the contents secure. Notably, this fine cabinet was originally lacquered not only on the exterior, but on the interior as well. The lacquer finish has aged beautifully, with a wondrous patina and rich character. Additional dimensions: Top shelf: 41" W x 17" D x 22" H Middle shelf: 41" W x 17.5" D x 17.5" H Bottom shelf: 41" W x 17.75" D x 17" H Drawers: 10" W x 16.5" D x 5" H.

  • Important Documented Qing Dynasty Chinese Deep Relief Rosewood Cabinet
    Located in Los Angeles, CA
    An exquisite custom antique 19th century Qing Dynasty heavily carved Chinese rosewood and elm wooden cabinet with double-doors carved set with gilt and deep relief carved wood panels depicting scenes from historical legends and brass handles enclosing a cabinet set with four shelves. The elaborately carved Elmwood panels originally decorated a mid-19th century wedding bed then incorporated into the custom Rosewood frame around the late 1800s-early 1900s. This incredible collectors piece of Chinese history was owned by a European diplomat in Shanghai China during the late 1800s and early 1900s. Documented in a large photobook of their home in Shanghai and their travels, this cabinet was an important piece in their collection and remained with their heirs until our acquisition. Some photos including the one showing this cabinet in their main room is displayed in the photo gallery of this listing. Many pieces owned by the diplomat collector were discarded or sold off over the decades whereas this important cabinet was passed on from generation to generation until we acquired it from a descendant of the diplomat collector. This cabinet would work great as a cupboard, breakfront cabinet, buffet, sideboard, bookcase or bookshelf, vitrine, étagère, china or display cabinet and would work great in an Asian, chinoiserie, Traditional, Transitional, Classical or Art Deco room. Also consider mixing it up with a splash of juxtaposition in a Mid-Century Modern, Scandinavian Modern or Danish Modern, Contemporary or Postmodern home...
