Handmade Asian Furniture - 40" Black & Gold Lacquer Wood Pagoda Style Buffet / Storage Cabinet

Add regal Asian flair to your home or office decor with this gorgeous aspen wood storage cabinet handcrafted and finished in sleek black and gold lacquer. The doors, side panels and top surface of this splendid piece are adorned with lovely hand-painted faux-watercolor depictions of grape vines, bamboo shoots, lotus blossoms and delicately rendered Chinese characters. 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. Intricate gold detailing borders the front panel, creating a fabulous Eastern mystique. The cabinet doors open to reveal a generous storage compartment perfect for keeping your favorite treasures such as dinnerware or table linens. Above, the two pull-out drawers provide additional storage space for smaller items such as cutlery. The versatile coloring and unique design will add a touch of Oriental grandeur to your decor and make it a treasured heirloom for years to come.
