Description
Shanxi, circa 1860
This extraordinary antique cabinet is from Shanxi province in central China, where it would most likely have been produced as part of a dowry for a bride, filled with silks, fabrics and other expensive gifts. The black lacquer finish and detailed paintings, depicting various bronzes, vases and other scholarly symbols along with flowers and various figures, are original, while the door hardware is likely a more recent replacement.
