{"product_id":"19th-century-chinese-painted-lacquered-armoire","title":"19th Century Chinese Painted \u0026 Lacquered Armoire","description":"\u003cp\u003eFour paneled doors open to reveal a run of shelves and three interior drawers, framed in a dark lacquer finish accented with red trim along each door's edge — a color pairing common to Northern Chinese cabinetry, where the red was traditionally reserved for auspicious detailing against a somber ground. The exterior lacquer has aged into a deep, uneven patina consistent with decades of handling, while the unfinished interior boards show the raw pine or elm construction typical of pieces built for daily use rather than display. The joinery follows traditional mortise-and-tenon construction, visible at the case corners, and the cabinet stands on a simple recessed-leg base — a form associated with Shanxi and Northern Chinese armoires of the 19th century. Brass ring pulls on the drawers appear original to the piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition is fair: the top left corner shows a chip with exposed raw wood beneath the lacquer, and the overall finish carries surface wear, scuffing, and color variation consistent with its age — none of which affects structural integrity. This is a piece built to be used, not preserved behind glass. At 80\" tall and 69\" wide, it reads as a substantial anchor for a dining room or entry, doors thrown open to display collected ceramics or linens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"ul1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e*Era: Antique\/\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003e19th Century (estimated)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e*Dimension: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003e69\"(W) x 27\"(D) x 80\"(H)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e*Material: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eSolid Wood with Original Lacquer Finish; Brass Hardware\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e*Finish: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eDark Lacquer with Red Trim\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e*Origin: Shanxi\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e*Condition: Good, original finish; visible chip with exposed wood at top left corner, surface wear and patina consistent with age.
