This oriental beauty cultures a creatively imagined history scene while maintaining an aesthetic elegance. Darkly painted elmwood, brass hardware and lacquer paint bring to life this hand carved artistic depiction of a traditional Japanese day, precisely polychromed at every crevasse gives a 3D effect to this decades old furnishing. Woman dressed in ancient ceremonial attire called “Pien-Fu” line the two cabinet doors. A boarder of carefully crafted geometric motifs frames each door, as well as, the left and right side. A simple painting of peonies and foliage decorate the sides and offer a perfect glance of simple beauty from a birds eye view - peonies and foliage in all its delicate beauty and natural grace. Beautifully shaped brass hardware lead us into the delightfully spacious and functional inner cabinet.
