About this seller
ProfessionalProduct description
This antique low cabinet in elm wood is a Chinese cabinet in lacquer with central drawers and an open niche. It originates from northern China, from the Qing dynasty, when elm was lacquered for domestic furniture.
These long, low cabinets were used at floor level, beside the kang or against the wall, to store and display household objects. The low height answers to a domestic life over mats and platforms.
The body is solid elm, with mortise-and-tenon joinery, two side doors, a central niche and a row of drawers. The doors keep their iron ring pulls.
The lacquer has worn to expose the wood over broad areas, with traces of colour and a warm patina. The surface reads authentic, with no restoration to mask it.
For its low, long proportion, it serves as a living-room cabinet, a television base or a storage console. It fits wabi-sabi, japandi and rustic interiors, where it brings warmth and material presence.
