Large Antique Shanxi Painted Sideboard

Featuring the original finish including traditional Shanxi paintings, this large sideboard would add a unique touch to any dining or living area. Made in the late 19th century, the cabinet was used for storage and as an altar for displaying votive offerings. The inset doors showcase circular paintings of mountain landscapes with inscriptions above, adding to the piece's wonderful sense of history. The sturdy frames and panels of pine serve as a sturdy foundation for the once vibrant lacquer and intricate paintings. The faded nature of the artwork and subdued colors, along with the aged patina, imbue this piece with a rich sense of history and personality.
