Antique Furniture |
|
 Each
week we highlight a new and interesting piece of antique
Chinese furniture!
Cabinets
Medium sized, short
Wooden Tibetan Alter Cabinet - brightly painted; scalloped
edges and often with 3 drawers - Although the sides of the
cabinet were left without paint, the skillful maker made
up for that by making a magnificent playground of colors
and motifs on the front and top side. This Tibetan cabinet
with its fiercely orange floral motifs on dark blue background
emits such a cheeriness and optimism. Various colors and
patterns are available
For
more information, please visit our website at http://www.antique-chinese-furniture.com/ |
