Antique Chinese Hand-Painted Lacquer Cabinet – Early 20th Century
$2,050.00
A striking early 20th-century Chinese hand-painted lacquer cabinet featuring an atmospheric landscape scene across both door fronts. This piece showcases classic northern Chinese artistry with its folk-style mountains, temple dwellings, robed figures, boats, and lotus motifs, all framed by a floral border that continues down to the lower apron.The cabinet is crafted in traditional plank construction with hand-planed surfaces, mortise-and-tenon joinery, and its original round “moon face” metal hardware. The lacquer has developed a wonderfully tactile patina over time—areas of worn pigment, exposed red underlayers, and natural crackling that speak to decades of use and authentic age. The result is a richly layered, soulful surface that decorators and collectors prize.Inside are two generous storage compartments with a center divider and shelf—ideal for use as an entry chest, media cabinet, bar cabinet, or accent piece in a collected interior.A beautiful example of early Republic–period painted furniture from the Shanxi region, full of character and history.Dimensions:50.5" Width17" Depth34.25" Height
