Description

An Antique Chinese, Qing Dynasty, Lacquered Wedding Cabinet, late 19th century, fitted with an upper shallow cupboard with a pair of pierced doors carved with rats amidst fruiting vines, laid over background panels painted with peaches, the main cupboard doors painted with scenes of figures on balconies of a terraced building with a crowd of figures in the foreground, with large engraved brass central lock-plate and within a border of fruiting branches and birds, the upper section with a pair of carved panels depicting a procession of figures over a textured 'mica' background, the interior with a central pair of drawers, the base fitted with an arrangement of five drawers and raised on square section feet.

Chinese wedding cabinets were traditionally given as a gift on the occasion of a wedding by the family of the bride to the groom with the intention of blessing them with happiness and good fortune. The decoration on the cabinets would be symbolic of the life hoped for the couple, such as rats, symbolising fertility and wealth, and peaches a long and healthy life.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.
