Hand painted Tibetan sideboard
205 × 91 × 52 cm
c. Early 20th century
A richly painted cabinet identified as Tibetan, Tenzin reflects the spiritual and artistic traditions of the eastern Himalayan region. Believed to be over 100 years old, the surface is hand-lacquered in layered tones of red, green, and gold, with peonies, auspicious symbols, and a guardian lion set against a crackled yellow ground.
Likely used in a domestic or altar setting, the cabinet features six drawers and six doors, framed by a scalloped apron and metal ring pulls. The finish shows age-appropriate wear, with softened pigments and visible patina throughout.
A sculptural and grounded piece, bold in scale, rich in detail, and steeped in cultural presence.
