Double Tapered Ming Form Cabinet

This 19th century cabinet embodies the subtle elegance of timeless Ming form design. With its high legs, overhanging top frame, and gently tapered sides, this grande double door cabinet has the remarkable air of "lightness" appreciated by collectors. A beech wood cabinet of this stature was likely commissioned for a fine 19th century home in Beijing, its drawers and shelves once filled with curios and embroidered silks.
