Antique Furniture |

 Each week we highlight a new and interesting
piece of antique Chinese furniture!
Dongbei Cabinet
This antique medium sized Dongbei cabinet will instantly
lighten up your dining room or kitchen. With beautiful grains
of orange wood and its front painted fiercely orange and green,
make this cabinet very eye-catching. This long, narrow two door
three drawer brightly colored cabinet offers enough space for
storing table clothes, napkins or even dishes. Space on the
top is ideal for some flower arrangements and bar shelf down
on the bottom for storing boxes of fruit and vegetables.
