Vintage Faux Bamboo & Cane Cabinet

$1,945.00
| /

A tall, slim cabinet in honey-amber wood, dressed throughout in the look of bamboo: the frame, rails and legs are turned with raised joints like the nodes of a bamboo stalk. Two doors hold framed woven panels, and two drawers below carry matching woven fronts and iron ring pulls. A metal lock plate and a slide latch close the doors, and a stretcher base with turned spindles gives the legs a lift off the floor. The color is rich and warm, and the weave adds texture.

The style comes from the faux bamboo furniture that has been popular in Asia and the West for generations. At 31.5 inches wide, 15 inches deep and 49.5 inches tall, it is a slender piece that fits an entry, a hallway, a bedroom corner or a bathroom wall. The doors hide stored items, the drawers hold small things, and the top is clear for a lamp or a plant. It brings a warm, tropical note to a plain room.

Q&A
1. What is faux bamboo furniture and where does the style come from?
Faux bamboo furniture is made of wood turned or carved to look like bamboo, with the joints and nodes of the stalk. The style grew from the European taste for Chinese design in the 18th and 19th centuries and has stayed popular in Asia and the West.
2. Does a cabinet with woven cane doors work for storage?
Yes. A woven panel lets the cabinet breathe and gives it a lighter look than a solid door. It suits linens, bathroom supplies, books and decorative objects, and it also hides what is stored behind the weave.
