Product description
This low sideboard in solid elm shows a four-door front with three drawers and ring pulls in wrought iron. The top, formed by a continuous plank with slightly raised ends, carries a warm patina with dark marks inherited from use. China, circa 1930. In rural northern Chinese homes, low sideboards were used as a multi-purpose piece: household storage, support surface or continuous bench next to the kang. Their limited height responded to the logic of a daily life largely conducted on the kang adobe platform. The construction is robust: solid elm in structure and fronts, traditional mortise and tenon joinery, scalloped lower apron with wavy profile and top with slightly everted ends. Hardware — locks and rings — is original and keeps the patina of aged iron. The current finish shows natural elm in warm tones, bathed by a dense patina that preserves the honest marks of a century of domestic life. Doors open cleanly and the lower drawers slide without effort. It works exceptionally well as a media unit thanks to its low height and generous length, as a sitting-room sideboard or as a long piece under a window. Its 148 cm frontage allows several objects to be placed in height and lets the piece breathe even in medium-sized rooms.
