This lovely black lacquered cabinet is in an exceptional condition and comes from Qinghai province, in western China and is in a style distinctive of furniture from the region. The upper shelf section is framed with exquisite carvings in a floral pattern that were once brightly coloured to compliment the beautiful paintings of flowers and butterflies on the lower section. This one is rather special as often cabinets like this are cut down to produce a lower sideboard that is more practical for modern tastes, but this one is in its original form. Also it still only has two doors set centrally in the lower section, often the fixed panels on either side were adjusted to make additional doors but this remains in its original state. A stunning piece with lots of pretty detail that will make a delightful statement piece in a modern home.
