EXP Handmade Furniture - 28" Black & Gold Lacquer Storage Cabinet / Coffee Table With Floral Motif

Rejoice in the renewal of springtime with this ornate handcrafted storage cabinet and finished in sleek black and gold lacquer. The doors of this gorgeous cabinet feature exotic circular panels skillfully hand-painted with blossoms rendered in magnificent faux-watercolor. The top, sides and drawer fronts are similarly ornamented with stunning scenes of golden spring. Lacy gold patterning borders the front of the frame, adding a sumptuous Oriental charm to this creation. 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. Open the doors to reveal a commodious storage compartment perfect for keeping books, placemats or personal treasures. Above, the two pull-out drawers provide additional storage space ideal for keeping smaller items. The smooth, extended top surface allows this piece to double as an end-table, or sofa table.
