Chinese Qing Dynasty Red & Black Lacquer Cabinet, Fujian, Late 19th Century
DESCRIPTION
A late nineteenth-century Chinese Qing dynasty red and black lacquered wood cabinet from Fujian Province. The upper section is enclosed by a pair of glazed doors, each incorporating relief-carved and gilt panels depicting figures within traditional landscapes. Below, a larger cupboard is enclosed by a pair of black lacquered panel doors decorated in gilt with birds amongst flowering branches and inscribed with Chinese characters.
The inscriptions translate as 'Prolong Life' to the left-hand panel and 'Wealth and Good Fortune' to the right, reflecting traditional Chinese wishes for longevity and prosperity. Beneath the cupboard are two drawers fitted with shaped brass handles, and the cabinet stands on square supports with carved corner brackets.
Both decorative and practical, this cabinet offers useful storage while serving as an attractive focal point.
