A skilled Mongolian artisan painted this antique pine cabinet with intricate floral designs organized around geometric shapes. Concealed hinges and joinery provide a continuous, flat surface that encouraged its prolific decoration. The cabinet is painted with a distinctively eastern aesthetic, but the simple, solid design lends it a charming, rustic feel. Commissioned as part of a woman’s dowry or used as a family altar, the cabinet provides ample storage with three drawers and two sets of doors opening to a single shelf each.
