This is a beautiful example of the traditional design of a Dongbei sideboard. Housing a double cupboard flanked by two single cupboards, each cupboard has a single removable shelf. As with most Asian furniture, solid brass hardware adorns the doors, in this case delicate tab handles.
This restored one off antique cabinet is a stunning example of the traditional Chinese cinnabar deep red lacquer, which is decorated with gold delicately hand-painted geometric designs on the frame, on the doors the hand-painted flowers consist of the orchid (spring), the lotus (summer), the chrysanthemum (autumn) and the plum blossom (winter). Bamboo is also featured which symbolises Oriental beauty, representing the character of moral integrity, resistance, modesty and loyalty.
The top and sides of this premium antique restored sideboard have been finished in a rich brown lacquer.
This elegant decorated unique sideboard would be an absolute joy to behold in a dining room, living area or entrance hall, dressed with lamps, plants or oriental accessories.
