Description
A display cabinet combining traditional Chinese cabinetry with textured green glass panels that introduce light and transparency while preserving the cabinet's function as a secure storage and display case. The restrained proportions and simple architectural form emphasise craftsmanship over ornament.
Traditional brass hardware and solid-wood construction are consistent with established Chinese furniture-making practice. The green glass distinguishes the cabinet from more conventional examples of Chinese storage furniture.
