About this seller
ProfessionalProduct description
This antique low cabinet in elm wood is a Chinese cabinet in red lacquer with gilt floral decoration. It originates from northern China, from the Qing dynasty, when elm was lacquered and painted 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 and a central open niche. The doors keep their iron ring pulls.
The doors keep floral sprays painted and gilt over the red lacquer. The floral motif is proper to Chinese folk furniture, associated with prosperity.
The red lacquer has worn to expose the wood, with a warm patina and an earthy tone. 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.
