Antique Chinese Display Cabinet with Hand Painted Chinoiserie and Open Shelf

About the Item

Chinese 19th century antique display cabinet with hand painted chinoiserie scene, open shelf, two doors and carved accents. Born in China in the 19th century, this exquisite display cabinet features an open shelf in its upper section, accented with three openings with carved motifs in its front. The black hue of the inner section contrasts beautifully with the red undertone of the outer structure and the exterior of the open shelf has been partially stripped of its original black lacquer. The lower part of the cabinet attracts our attention with its hand painted chinoiserie scene, presenting characters set among traditional structures. The lighter tones of the hand painted scenes, highlighted with orange accents, stand out beautifully on the dark brown color of the cabinet. Fitted with brass hardware, the doors open to reveal two inner shelves offering great storage opportunities. Creating a perfect visual harmony, the carving of the top is developed at the bottom on the lower frieze. With its clean lines, its delicate decor and its lovely patina, this Chinese 19th century display cabinet will bring an exotic touch to any living room.

Chinese Painted Book Cabinet, c. 1850
Located in Chicago, IL
This lacquered display cabinet from Shanxi province was crafted in the mid-19th century using traditional mortise-and-tenon joinery methods. The enclosed lower half was used for general storage and the open upper shelf was used to display precious objects such as vases, curios, or piles of books. The exterior is darkened by a black lacquer finish and hand-painted with charming decorative motifs, including bronze censers, flower vases, scrolls, and scholars' objects. Original brass hardware secures the doors, now richly aged with a smooth patina and subtle oxidation. Unusual for its smaller scale, we love this painted cabinet in a children's bedroom or playroom as an unexpected bookcase or toy chest...
