This early 20th century Tibetan painted cabinet would have originally been used atop a kang or platform bed, used as a table and storage chest. The low cabinet has a simple rectangular design with short legs, inset paneled sides, and a slightly overhung top. Each of the front panels is hand-painted with a cartouche of pink and blue peony blossoms set against a golden yellow background. The two center panels slide open to reveal a large interior compartment. The cabinet frame is decorated with red lacquer and a painted trailing vine motif, now faded from years of use.

Deaccessioned from the MacLean Collection of Asian Art.

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.”
