This traditional Chinese small cabinet dates from the nineteenth century and stands 61.5 cm high, 70 cm wide and 38.5 cm deep. The piece consists of a warm brown hardwood frame with polished dark timber grain, twin panelled front doors, and an intricate layout of chased brass hinges, corner mounts, handles, and a central engraved circular lockplate with drop-ring pulls. The structure is raised upon a shaped frieze and ogee bracket feet. Six internal drawers with brass handles sit behind the doors, while the base features a decorative arched apron. This traditional storage unit functions well as a bedside table, a lamp table, a standalone collector cabinet, or a tabletop display piece within a study, hallway, or living room.

FAQs

Historically used across East Asia, these compact wooden cabinets were designed to store personal valuables, documents, and calligraphy equipment, often featuring decorative brass mounts for both reinforcement and aesthetic appeal.

These pieces are commonly crafted from dense hardwoods such as rosewood, elm, or camphor, paired with hand-cut and etched brass fittings that serve as corner protectors, hinges, and central lockplates.

Authentic examples often exhibit traditional joinery without metal nails, natural wear around handles, hand-engraved motifs on the metalwork, and smooth oxidisation on the interior surfaces and brass hardware.

A Chinese brass-mounted cabinet functions well as a focal accent piece on a sideboard, console table, or desk, contrasting rich dark wood tones against neutral contemporary backdrops.

Preserve the finish by wiping wood surfaces with a dry microfibre cloth and applying natural wax sparingly, while avoiding harsh chemical cleaners on the brass mounts to protect their patina.
