Antique Furniture |
|
 Each week we highlight a new and interesting
piece of antique Chinese furniture!
Cabinets
Medium sized, short Wooden Tibetan Alter Cabinet - brightly painted; scalloped edges and often with 3 drawers - Although the sides of the cabinet were left without paint, the skillful maker made up for that by making a magnificent playground of colors and motifs on the front and top side. This Tibetan cabinet with its fiercely orange floral motifs on dark blue background emits such a cheeriness and optimism. Various colors and patterns are available.
