Description

Shandong, circa 1920 - this charming cabinet is from Shandong in northern China and is unusually compact in size. The bright red lacquer finish, now worn particularly around the bottom of the doors and around the feet, is original. The colour is more subdued than when the cabinet was first produced but is still adorned with the old paintings of birds and flowers in creams, pinks and greens. The top of the cabinet is in a more natural colour of the pine wood, darkened over the years to leave a lovely aged patina. The two doors are fitted inside thick frames, mounted on wooden, rounded dowels that slot into wooden receptacles to the top and bottom. In an original condition, the cabinet would make a lovely addition to any room, bringing a bright hit of colour and sense of history.
