Antique Chinese red lacquered wedding cabinet / wardrobe, from Shanxi Provence. Handcrafted with mortise-and-tenon joinery, this style of cabinet from the mid to late Qing dynasty, is traditionally presented to brides as part of their dowry. For instance the fruit in a footed vessel often symbolizes prosperity or good fortune. The piece is finished in a red lacquer, decorated with gilt floral arrangements in vases, and a large round brass faceplate. Inside is a built in fixed shelf with two drawers. The lower section features a vertical board that lifts up to expose a large storage compartment below.
