Greetings friends. We lead with this exquisite statment piece - an English specimen lacquered cabinet in the Chinese manner...and what a fine specimen it is. The piece is decorated in intricate Chinoiserie with the Chinese characters actually crafted in relief in coloured lacquer. The gold leaf painted designs include pagodas, wise men, Chinese plants and flora and other motifs. It's so beautifully decorated on every surface and side. Of course the big reveal is opening the doors to reveal all the drawers and cubby holes also decorated with Chinoiserie. A gorgeous work of art for any high end interior.
A tough week deciding what to lead with as we also have - right below - an original metal cast Arab on horseback by Barye. At three feet tall and signed on the base this is another museum quality piece we are proud to bring to market. Have a fab weekend friends :)
