Vintage Design
This wonderful cabinet in a rich, red lacquer would add interest and a luxurious feel to any room. It was produced in Shanxi province at the beginning of the last century and the red lacquer and gold motifs are quite typical of the region, considered lucky colours. The doors and lower panel are decorated with circles in gold, each one containing an auspicious animal, flower or other symbol important in Chinese culture.
The doors fit directly on wooden dowels into the cabinet’s frames above and below, doing away with the need for metal hinges. This ingenious design, along with the small drop handles on the doors (a replacement for the originals), provides the largest possible canvas for the beautiful decoration.
The two shelves inside are removable, while the interior board at the bottom can also be removed to reveal a ‘hidden’ section behind the bottom fixed panel. Two drawers below this – most likely a more recent addition as drawers are not normally seen on this type of cabinet – provide extra storage space.
