With exceptionally rich lacquerwork, this cabinet bears traces of the original ornate gilt scenery, depicting traditional Chinese palatial courtyard structures in a mountainous park setting. It is framed by intricately scrolled gilt work on the supporting spars. At one time, this hand-lacquered scene would have been bold in its depiction of the palatial mountain gardens. Mellowing over centuries of use, the gilt surface now hums quietly yet brilliantly, providing lovely texture from afar and wonderful richness from close up. Clean lines and expert joinery exhibit the traditional aesthetic developed by Ming period carpenters.

What They're Saying

Elizabeth Krueger | Elizabeth Krueger Design

“PAGODA RED was extremely supportive in helping to pull accessory options together for the Lake Forest Showhouse. After providing them with details and our vision on how we were looking to finish our space, Laurene helped curate options that made it easy for us to edit and finalize. It's also no surprise that the unique pieces we used in our showhouse space were some of the first to sell.”
