With its commanding scale and simple silhouette, this grand Qing-dynasty cabinet offered the perfect canvas for elaborate decoration. The expansive doors are lavishly decorated with gilt scenery depicting palatial courtyard buildings in a lush mountainous landscape. A brilliant gold when first applied, the gilt pigmentation has faded from two centuries of use, revealing the red-brown lacquer underneath. Dated to the early 19th century, the cabinet has a classic square-corner design and was used for storing clothes in lieu of a closet. A large full moon brass lock plate secures the doors, which open to reveal a warm brown interior with three shelves and three shallow drawers.

Moderate repairs to peeling lacquer and splits to front doors.

Elizabeth Krueger | Elizabeth Krueger Design

“PAGODA RED was extremely supportive in helping to pull accessory options together for the Lake Forest Showhouse. After providing them with details and our vision on how we were looking to finish our space, Laurene helped curate options that made it easy for us to edit and finalize. It's also no surprise that the unique pieces we used in our showhouse space were some of the first to sell.”
