CHINESE PAINTED ELM CABINET
Elm with hand-painted panels, China, early 20th century (c.1900–1930)
143W × 46D × 77H cm
A provincial Chinese cabinet in solid elm, retaining its original hand-painted panels and dark lacquered finish. Decorative scenes featuring dragons and scholar’s objects sit against a richly weathered surface where the lacquer has softened and worn back over time, revealing earlier layers of pigment beneath. Three doors open to interior storage with removable shelving, finished with aged brass ring pulls. Compact in scale yet visually striking, suited to a living space, hallway or study.
