    Description

    IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR ONE OF THE FINEST EXAMPLES OF A CHINESE MEDICINE CABINET.....
    HERE IS ONE SELLING FOR 1 QUARTER OF IT'S APPRAISED VALUE
    ALL ORIGINAL HARDWARE......ORIGINAL LACQUER FINISH...UNUSUAL ROUNDED CORNERS.
    I imported this exquisite example from an antique dealer I met on Hollywood Road in Hong Kong in 1997.  It was sourced in Northern China and then 'conditioned' in a controlled environment warehouse for 6 months until the moisture content reached 25% at which point the panels were adjusted to minimize cracks and repaired by Chinese craftsmen.  It was then wrapped and placed in a container and shipped to Pennsylvania where it has been on display in my home.  I am moving to smaller quarters with no more room for display furniture.
    It measures 48 h, x 36 w x 22 d.  It is quite heavy even without all 39 drawers.  We can arrange shipping for approx.  0 depending on how far....it will be wrapped professionally for protection during shipment.
