EXP Handmade Asian furniture-28" Red & Gold Lacquer Chinese Corner Cabinet - Imperial Maiden Design

Adorn your home or office with the Eastern grandeur of this stunning handcrafted aspen wood corner cabinet and finished in sleek burgundy and gold lacquer. The curved doors of this alluring piece are adorned with a charming scene taken from the famous Chinese novel, "Dream of Red Mansion," a tragically romantic tale of love and fortune in the Chinese countryside. Rendered in shimmering pastels, the painting depicts three beautiful Qing Dynasty maidens chatting under the flowering plum trees. The top panel is ornamented with a faux-watercolor floral pattern set against a radiant gold undercoat. 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. Inside, a commodious storage compartment with a full-length shelf offers ample space to keep a wide range of treasures. The unique quarter-circle wedge design means this piece will fit perfectly into any 90-degree corner, and beautiful cabriole legs provide sturdy support. This piece makes a marvelous foyer centerpiece or living room or dining room accent, and is sure to become a treasured heirloom. Measures 28 inches high x 20 inches wide x 13 inches long.
