Chinese medallion cabinet 78cm (C60.078A)

This magnificent two-door, two-drawer wardrobe is ideal for a bedroom. Not only is it highly functional, but the buddhist scenes painted on the doors promise to inspire sweet dreams. Classically shaped in the 19th century shanghai style, this small feminine cabinet is also known as the "lady cabinet". Its fine elm structure is coated with a beautiful red lacquer. The doors are classically decorated with medallions painted on fabrics. While these paintings usually depict courtly women, here they depict buddhist deities processioning in the clouds. The characters are executed with great precision and capture a very lively gesture. Costumes in blue and red tones create perfect harmony.
