EXP Handmade Furniture - 31" Black & Silver Lacquer Storage Cabinet / End Table With Nature Motif

Enhance your bedroom, living room or office with this enchanting aspen wood storage cabinet finished in smooth lacquer and decorated with charming hand-painted designs. The top, side panels, and doors are embellished with sumptuous botanical scenes representing the harmony of the four seasons. Peonies, plum blossoms, songbirds, chrysanthemums and orchids are lovingly hand-painted in a warm autumnal palette. 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. In the front upper-right corner, the title of a famous poem extolling the beauty of spring is rendered in intricate Chinese calligraphy. The interior features ample storage space with a full-length shelf, making it easy to keep personal treasures close at hand. Delicate silver flourishes provide the finishing touch, enhancing the sleek black lacquered frame. This versatile cabinet can be used as an end table, nightstand or decorative accent, and is sure to become a precious household heirloom. Measures 31 inches high x 22 inches wide x 11 inches long.
