Bleached Side Cabinet From Shanxi - 19th Century
This understated 19th-century Chinese cabinet from Shanxi province blends rugged charm with elegant restraint. Crafted from elm wood and recently bleached to reveal the natural grain, it features an austere rectangular form punctuated by traditional metal studs and ring pulls. Originally used for storing essentials in a rural Chinese home, its utilitarian design is softened by beautifully aged wood and authentic iron fittings.
The upper section includes three drawers framed with exposed joinery and riveted fronts, while a pair of lower doors open to reveal a spacious storage compartment. The cabinet's timeworn texture, exposed nail heads, and subtle asymmetry speak to its handmade origins and long service life in the Chinese heartland.
