Lacquered Storage Cabinet

With bi-folding doors, a retrofitted fold down compartment, three exterior and eight interior drawers—this Elmwood cabinet was crafted in Northern China over 150 years ago but is still in remarkable shape. Skilled Qing Dynasty cabinetmakers elevated joinery to a new artistic level. The beauty of this red lacquered cabinet is not only the lacquered wood or precise carving, but in the complex joinery just beneath the surface.
