Auctions is pleased to offer for sale a rare and gorgeous antique Chinese Compound Cabinet. It is beautifully crafted from rose wood – one of the rarest and most sought after of hardwoods – and originates from Hebei Province in China, which was renowned for cabinets with ornate carved decoration made during the Qing dynasty. Chinese cabinets were functional objects as well as works of art and came in various shapes, sizes, forms, and designs to hold a variety of objects, often in pairs symbolizing double-happiness. When a small chest is stacked on top of a regular-sized cabinet – or when two units of equal or different sizes are stacked on top of each other – the combination is collectively known as a compound cabinet. This fine compound cabinet is. Square-cornered with four doors, and features intricately carved auspicious symbols, including the legendary Chinese dragon. It is a showcase example of Chinese furniture distinguished by the beauty of the material and the simplicity of form reduced to flowing smooth lines and simple, extremely well constructed joinery. The measurements are 59.5 inches in length by 19.25 inches deep by 104.5 inches in height (151.1 cm by 48.8 cm by 265.4). It is in very good used condition, with wear consistent to a dating to the late mid-19th century. Importantly, it is an intact, original piece. It has a fine provenance coming from an important U.
