Handmade 33" Chinese Black Lacquer Wood End Table / Nightstand With Jade & Mother of Pearl

Let this exquisite black lacquer side table, with its jade stonework and handcrafted Mother of Pearl inlay, bring a stunning Oriental spirit to your decor. This masterful piece features a traditional scene in which the women on the large cabinet door play music and commune in a courtyard typical of Ming and Qing dynasty nobility. The women are exquisitely rendered in intricately hand-carved and raised jade and Qingtian stonework, as is the tree above them. The white petals which border both the door and the convenient upper drawer are an intricate pattern of ivy and plumb blossoms, created from delicately hand-inlaid Mother of Pearl. The vibrant hand-painted crimson, yellow and pink flowers on the top surface and side panels are "mudanhua" or tree peonies, the national flower of China, while smaller versions grace the drawer. Additional foliage is hand-painted around the borders of the cabinet's front, inside the doors, on the back panel. Multiple applications of lacquer create the lustrous black base coat. Gleaming, custom brass hinges and handles adorn the door and stylized "xi" character handles, representing joy, provide access to the large interior storage space and drawer. Open the door to reveal a spacious interior with a shelf for additional storage space. Not just a beautiful accent piece this superb creation is also a practical storage cabinet and is sure to be a treasured possession for years to come.
