| /

This low-slung, striking cabinet is a rare and unique piece of history, rich with utility and charming detail. This Antique Kang Cabinet, a traditional piece of furniture from Northern China, is characterized by its long, low profile, originally designed to sit atop a heated brick platform (kang). Likely dating to the 20th century, the piece wears a beautifully distressed black painted finish that highlights the rich texture of the wood. Its design is a masterpiece of utility, featuring multiple drawers flanking a central two-door compartment, perfect for organized storage. The most captivating feature is the hand-painted floral ceramic tiles inset into the doors, adding an unexpected and vibrant burst of color. 

Measuring a generous 67.5 inches wide and only 20.5 inches high, this Antique painted cabinet serves as an ideal media console in a living room, a unique entryway bench, or a dramatic low sideboard, lending a powerful sense of history and eclectic charm to any interior.
