EXP Handmade Furniture - 24" Black & Silver Chinese Storage Cabinet / End Table With Orchid Motif

Add a touch of Eastern refinement to your home with this exotic handmade cabinet crafted from sturdy aspen wood. Expertly hand-painted orchid blossoms, singing birds, and stylized leaves are set against a shimmering backdrop on each side and on the top of this distinctive piece. The silvery 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. Two doors, affixed with handsome brass hinges, open to reveal a generous interior to keep your precious possessions safe when they are not in use, while a single wide drawer below offers extra storage. All around the front edge, elegant geometric star patterns trim this treasure in shimmering golden foil. Standing alone as an accent piece or as an end table, this glistening, hand-painted cabinet will keep your belongings organized while bringing the luxurious aesthetic of classic Chinese design into your home. Measures 24 inches high x 22 inches wide x 15 inches long. Due to the handmade nature of this piece, measurements and details may vary.
