Lacquered Two Door Noodle Cabinet

This mid-19th century two door cabinet from China's Hebei province is still coated in a lustrous black lacquer finish after nearly two centuries of use. A laborious process, lacquer must be applied slowly, brushed on in long fluid motions. A high-quality finish takes upwards of thirty coats, making a cabinet such as this time-consuming and costly. Once glossy and even, the cabinet's original lacquer is now beautifully aged with a crazed texture and traces of hand-painted decoration. The cabinet has a timeless beauty with clean lines, brass hardware, and rounded moldings that resemble noodles and give the design its unique name.
