China 20th Century

This exquisite pair of mid-century Chinese cabinets exudes an air of sophistication and traditional elegance, making them a striking addition to any room. Each cabinet is meticulously crafted and features a rich black lacquer finish that serves as a dramatic backdrop for the intricate gold-painted designs.

The front of each cabinet is adorned with an array of hand-painted motifs, including florals, geometric patterns, and traditional Chinese symbols, all rendered in luxurious gold tones. These designs are artfully arranged to create a balanced and harmonious aesthetic, reflecting the artistry and attention to detail characteristic of mid-century Chinese craftsmanship.

Each cabinet is composed of two main doors, which are fitted with a decorative metal lock and latch system, adding both functionality and an element of antique charm. The doors open to reveal ample storage space inside, perfect for keeping household items, linens, or personal treasures organized and out of sight.

The cabinets rest on sturdy, slightly tapered legs, with a subtly raised base that adds to their stately presence. The overall construction is solid and durable.
