Description

A cabinet in the restrained manner of traditional Chinese household furniture. Rather than relying on elaborate carving, its character derives from clean architectural proportions, geometric latticework and carefully balanced construction. The lattice doors recall traditional window screens and interior partitions, while brass hardware and panel construction reinforce the cabinet's traditional appearance.

Age-related wear is consistent with prolonged domestic use.

Condition

Architectural character with attractive latticework, brass lock and honest interior; the base shows traditional construction. Age-related wear consistent with use.
