A Chinese export chinoiserie cabinet.
A wonderful chinoiserie table top cabinet in the most amazing & beautifully preserved, black lacquered & hand painted gilt detailing. The twin doors open to reveal a shelved black Japanned interior with two drawers to the base with the exterior of the cabinet painted with the most wonderfully preserved traditional oriental scenes, leaves & berries and bamboo shoots to each sides. A super thing.
19th century
Wear commensurate with age with the usual wear & tear to the paintwork & some wear & tear surrounding the bolt area inside the door. The key is absent though the door does stay closed as there is a later but very old screw to one side of the door jam which keeps it from opening.
UK courier service possible, too fragile to post, please enquire for details.
