Large Antique Chinese Wedding Cabinet

Description

This large cabinet, measuring 52” in width, 24” in depth, and 80” in height, constructed entirely solid elm. A clear coating of protective finish brings out rich mahogany tone, wood grain, and nicely aged patina. Clean lines and square corners build accent a large circular shape brass plate, a symbol of unity and eternity in Chinese culture.  This type of cabinets was used to hold a bride’s dowry such as clothes, comforters, and linens. The lower of this cabinet was a secret compartment covered by a board with a small handle. The board was removed to allow more storage space for the modern life.  This massive cabinet can be a stunning dry bar cabinet, entertainment center, or storage unit.
