Vintage Chinese Small Red Cabinet with Geometric Art and Flowers

Originating in the Dongbei Province of Northern China, this pine sideboard dates around 1920. It has been restored in an artisanal workshop in Shandong bringing it back to a subtle faded beauty.

This small sized cabinet has two doors with brass handles accessing a generous internal space. As part of the restoration, the piece was given a new removable inner shelf, making the storage compartment more flexible. 

Interestingly this compact little cabinet is both petite and spacious providing more storage inside than first appears. Painted in a striking vermillion red colour with a detailed overlay of art work. The piece is unusual in that it has an eye catching geometric design infilled with depictions of birds and flowers.

Both the flowers and birds represent prosperity, good fortune and marital longevity in Chinese culture. The whole piece rests on carved, decorative feet.

The overall appearance makes this a unique yet tasteful addition to any bedroom, dining room or even office space. This compact piece also works well in entrance halls or as a linen closet.

Dimensions: 77(w) x 40(d) x 72(h) cm
