GJPaw Auctions is pleased to offer for sale a gorgeous antique lacquered Chinese Cabinet or Sideboard. It is beautifully crafted from elm wood and originates from the Shanxi Province, famous not only for the finest furniture made during the Qing dynasty, but also large red or black lacquer cabinets which would be given as part of a wedding dowry. This particularly fine example has two drawers and two doors. It is a showcase example of Chinese furniture distinguished by the beauty of the material and the simplicity of form reduced to flowing smooth lines and simple, extremely well constructed joinery. The measurements are 40 inches in length by 23.5 inches deep by 34 inches in height (101.6 cm by 59.6 cm by 86.3). It is in very good used condition, with wear consistent to a dating from the mid-19th century. Importantly, it is an intact, original piece. It has a fine provenance coming from an important U.S. Midwest collection. This is a rare and beautiful piece, excellent for today’s décor, and a unique opportunity for a collector of fine antique furniture to adorn either an office or home, while savoring the culture, traditions and lifestyle of Chinese civilization.
