A Chinese Qing Dynasty period side cabinet from the 19th century with double doors, distressed black lacquer and brass hardware. Created in China during the Qing Dynasty in the 19th century, this side cabinet features a rectangular top with slightly beveled edges and nicely distressed patina, sitting above two doors fitted with a traditional round brass medallion lock. These doors open to reveal a small storage area with an inner shelf. The cabinet is raised on four straight feet connected to one another through a simply carved apron in the front and the two sides. The latter showcase recessed panels and the back is, of course, unfinished.
