Antique Furniture |
|
 Each week we highlight a new and interesting
piece of antique Chinese furniture!
Cabinets
A home's most prominent showpieces (and collectibles) would
definitely include the assortment of unique medium for storage and displays...Cabinets are generally the most popular furniture due to
their functional adaptation to our modern homes. Mid-sized cabinet
with carved shutter doors and two drawers. This piece of furniture has captured its maker’s skills in every part of it…from carefully designed carvings and beautifully shaped legs with wise choice of subtle iron
pulls and dark brown finish.
