A Teochew cabinet in deep red lacquer, carved and gilded on five faces: two pierced drawer fronts, two door panels worked with figures among pines, clouds, and lattice borders, and both side panels carved with treasure and ribbon motifs. The doors close on a traditional brass bolt with pierced backplates and open to a shelved interior finished in dark red. Cabinets from the Chaozhou workshops carry some of the densest carving in southern Chinese furniture, and this one reads as a jewel box at room scale. At just over 90 cm tall, it works in an entryway, beside a sofa, or as a quietly commanding bedside piece.
MaterialsWood, Red lacquer with gilt carved panels and brass hardware
DimensionsH 91.5 × L 61 × D 30 cm
PeriodCirca 1900 to 1940s, later relacquered
WeightApprox. 15.5 kg
ConditionVery good for its age. Light scuffs and rubbing to the lacquer, small chips at frame edges and near the latch plates, gentle rubbing to the gilt highlights, and minor chips to the front edge of the interior shelf. The piece appears to have been relacquered during an earlier restoration. Structurally sound; doors and drawers run true.
