19th Century Chinese Red Lacquer Wedding Cabinet A striking antique Chinese wedding cabinet finished in rich red lacquer and decorated throughout with hand-painted Chinoiserie scenes depicting figures, traditional architecture, and landscape motifs accented by original gilt decoration. Featuring paneled double doors opening to generous interior storage above two lower drawers, the cabinet retains its original brass hardware, hand-painted side panels, and beautifully aged lacquer surfaces that speak to more than a century of careful use. Unlike restored examples, this cabinet presents with an authentic antique patina, preserving the character collectors and designers seek in period Chinese furniture. The cabinet functions equally well as a statement storage piece, dry bar, entry cabinet, or decorative focal point in traditional, mountain, and contemporary interiors. Acquired from a distinguished private Jackson Hole estate.
