A Rare Chinese Hardwood and Engraved Bronze Mounted Small Cabinet with a Makers Stamp.

This high quality and very decorative small Chinese hardwood cabinet is a fine example. It has an impressed makers stamp on the underside which is very rare and reads (Made by L.S. Hoi, Shanghai, China)

The cabinet is made from dense rich hardwood and consists of four raised feet supporting the rectangular cabinet with a lower open drawer with a raised and fielded front. Above there are two hinged doors again with raised and fielded panels which hinge open to reveal a fitted interior with four drawers each with sunken brass flush fitting handles. The cabinet is mounted throughout with decorative fine brass mounts and handles which have all been hand cut, shaped, engraved and finished with a mid brown patina. This rare cabinet also retains its original small brass engraved Chinese working padlock with its original steel key. This delightful small piece of furniture would have originally been used for jewellery or as an apothecary cabinet. It is in very good original condition with rich colour and patination. Circa 1900

After forty years of shop keeping and maintaining beautiful showrooms, which have been regularly open six days a week, Robert and Wendy have now taken a slightly different approach to their business. Having sold their retail premises, the antique business is now fully online. The picture framing service has ceased to operate because of moving online.

Customers can rest assured that the long-established dealership is continuing to run in an exceedingly professional way, selling genuine and high-quality items which are guaranteed to please the most discerning collector, decorator or homeowner.

All items will be personally hand packaged to a high standard. Small items are extensively wrapped using the best materials and are often double boxed. Items are then shipped with DHL or Royal Mail fully insured and often with next day delivery. Larger items would be personally delivered or sent with a specialist antique delivery firm, or for outside the U.K, a professional shipping company.
