EXP Handmade Furniture - 32" Black & Gold Lacquer Buffet / Storage Cabinet Chinese Seasons Motif

Indulge in exquisite Eastern luxury with this sumptuous aspen wood storage cabinet handcrafted by talented Asian artisans. The doors of this luminous piece each feature three inset panels adorned with elegant natural scenes hand-painted on a shimmering golden undercoat. Delightful songbirds flit among budding orchids, peonies, plum blossoms and lotus flowers. In Chinese culture, each of these flowers represents one of the four seasons of the year. Shown together, they celebrate nature's yearly cycle and symbolize balance, harmony and rebirth. 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 side panels and top surface of the black lacquer frame feature additional floral accents. Inside, a generous storage compartment, complete with a full-length shelf, provides ample space for keeping your personal treasures. This is sure to infuse any room in your home or office with Oriental splendor. Measures 32 inches wide x 31 inches high x 11 inches long.
