Antique Furniture |

 Each week we highlight a new and interesting
piece of antique Chinese furniture!
Cabinet
Various colors and finishes available This cabinet
because of its broad top, although multipurpose as a TV cabinet
or even dresser, somehow fits the most in worm rustic kitchen
decor. It's an enclosed cabinet with two fixed shelves for additional
components. Finished both inside and out in a rich blue that
is hand rubbed to reveal hints of the wood grain below.
