Handmade 34" Chinese Black Lacquer Corner Cabinet Mother of Pearl & Jade - Imperial Maiden Design

Bring a gorgeous touch of Oriental enchantment to that empty corner of your living room, dining room or bedroom with this superbly handcrafted black lacquer corner cabinet, embellished with jade stonework and handcrafted Mother of Pearl inlay. This gorgeous piece features a traditional scene in which the women on the large, gently curving doors, play music 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 are the leaves of the tree above them. Their faces and musical instruments are hand-carved from bone. The white petals which border the front and top of the cabinet are an intricate floral pattern of ivy and plumb blossoms, created from delicately hand-inlaid Mother of Pearl. The vibrant flowers on top are hand-painted "mudanhua" or tree peonies, the national flower of China, while additional flora are finely hand-painted in flourishes on the skirt and back panels. Multiple applications of lacquer create the lustrous black base coat. Gleaming, custom brass hinges and handles adorn the doors which open a full 180 degrees, revealing a spacious interior with a convenient shelf for added storage space. A peach key latch keeps both doors securely closed while stylized "xi" character handles, representing joy, enable you to open the doors. A superlative creation, it is sure to be a treasured possession for years to come. Measures 34 inches high x 21 inches from the corner to either side of the cabinet.
