The 19th Century Chinese Red Elm Taper Cabinet from Shandong in China is a remarkable piece of furniture that exudes elegance and style. The cabinet is made of high-quality red elm wood that gives it a distinct warm and rich colour. The tapering design of the cabinet, with its wider base and narrower top, creates a visually appealing silhouette that is both sophisticated and practical.
What sets this cabinet apart is its original ironwork, including the intricate bronze locking plates that still remain intact. These features not only add to the cabinet's aesthetic appeal but also provide an interesting insight into the craftsmanship of the period.
Despite some previous damage, with someone having painted the inside of the cabinet black, the beauty of this stunning piece is still evident. The exterior of the cabinet is a testament to the skill of the craftsmen who created it, with intricate carvings and detailing that highlight the quality of the materials used.
This piece is a rare find that provides a glimpse into the history of Chinese furniture-making during the 19th century. It is a testament to the skill, creativity, and artistry of the craftsmen of that time and remains a valuable addition to any collection of antique furniture.
