EXP Handmade Asian Furniture - 47" Antique Style Red & Gold Chinese Storage Cabinet W/ Plum Flowers

Store your cherished possessions in exquisite Eastern style with this ornate aspen wood storage cabinet handmade by skilled Asian craftsmen. Each sumptuous cabinet door is graced with shimmering pastel depictions of dainty songbirds fluttering among peonies and plum blossoms, China's traditional symbols of grace and renewal. The golden background is created through color-plating using the "jin gui pai" or "golden turtle armor" method, a traditional technique dating back to the Tang Dynasty (618-907 A.D.). "Tong fen," or bronze powder, is added to the paint to provide extra gleam and the surface is then lacquered in place, creating a lustrous finish. The lacquered burgundy frame of this exceptional piece is adorned on the sides and top surface with additional floral patterns, ornate gold bordering and beautiful hand-painted accents. This lovely cabinet features two spacious storage compartments ideal for keeping your treasures close at hand. The larger bottom compartment features a full-length shelf to help keep items well-organized. With its smooth top surface, this cabinet can easily double as a foyer table or display stand for cherished photographs, keepsakes and knickknacks. Made from only the highest quality materials, it is sure to become an integral part of your decor. Measures 47 inches high x 19 inches wide x 15 inches long.
