A beautiful and extremely well made antique Oriental lacquered chinoiserie wedding cabinet. This was made in East Asia, it dates from the early-mid 19th century likely around 1820-1850.
These models are called wedding cabinets as they were often bestowed upon married couples, they are more commonly seen in red, it is very rare to find one in black like this.
It is made from solid elm, beautifully lacquered in black with gold butterfly decorations all over the front. There is lots of storage space inside with a removable shelf and a lower tray covered cabinet section.
The condition is excellent for its age, with just the right amount of wear and patina, to be expected from a piece that is nearly 200 years old.
