Small Antique Northern Chinese Painted Red Lacquer Cabinet from Shanxi province with Auspicious Symbols in bold and bright colors on the original red lacquer background from organic mineral compound. The motives include flower vases for harmony and peace, temple objects such as incense burner and fruit offering, and scholarly books and scrolls. The button spandrel is carved with a large bat with extending wigs, while the cabinet is decorated with twined peony flowers around the frame. Chinese furniture is often decorated, whether by carving or being painted, with many traditional Chinese auspicious motives probably more than other forms of Chinese art. This is because furniture is directly associated with one's living space and everyday living and is part of the architecture, these symbols reflect a culture and general people's wishes for a better life and future generations. This square-cornered two-door cabinet with a flat style construction and painted surface was in a very rough condition but with a good bone, so we have spent a lot of time restoring the damaged lacquer part to bring it to a usable, solid, and beautiful cabinet to use. The inside of the cabinet is very clean and has one shelf, but there is enough room for another shelf if desired. Early 20th century. Dimensions: 26 1/2" L x 16 12/" D x 33 1/2" H

With a small metal gong hung at the top in between the tall bamboo handles, this compact tool chest served as an essential and convenient companion for a street vendor to make a daily living. Upon arriving at a small ally or street, he then stroke the gong to announce his arrival as women and children running out of households to buy their daily treats!
