This gorgeous traditionally painted Shanxi Cabinet / Sideboard pays true testament to ancient Chinese craftsmanship.
This piece features an intricate and exquisitely distressed facade, with rich tones of crackled red, black and natural wood tones represented in a stunning display of traditional Chinese crackling aged distress. The sides are faded blacks and timber colours with rich natural timber highlights shining though, allowing the front facade to become the dominant focal point.
The door panels discreetly open up to reveal a cupboard space with ample and deep storage in this attractively decorated Altar Cabinet. A drawer further adds functionality to this stylish piece.
This is a very traditional cabinet, handmade with rudimentary tools, using professional carpentry skills that the ancient Chinese are so well known for. The layering effect evident in the distressed red facade are produced by multiple layering of paint, linen and lime extracts to produce a paint effect seen in no other type of furniture. This piece is extremely high quality, and RARE.
Our Antique restoration division has lacquered the entire piece to protect the painting , leaving it with a professional finish that will last a lifetime. We have not restored the piece itself, only added lacquer to maintain the condition of this wonderful piece.
We also ensure that each piece has been properly dried in a professional Dry Room to ensure adaptability to the Australian environment (Many importers of reproductions and antiques do NOT do this - and the products begin to crack and split within months)
Typically each piece is lacquered up to 10 times, producing the world famous finish that Original Chinese antiques are so praised for. This approach is unique to Admiralty Antiques, and means our quality is unsurpassed in Australia by any of our competitors. When you compare our piece to others, you will see and FEEL the difference.
It would make a charming Living Room Cabinet, Sideboard, Bedroom dresser cabinet or Interior focus piece to complement your existing furniture.
It embraces the true artistry and craftsmanship of the finest traditional Chinese art.
