Item 9946/842 Chinese "Worship" Cabinet SOLD

This late Qing Dynasty Display Cabinet is a very good example of a "softwood" piece imitating a Classical hardwood piece. This cabinet is directly related to the Huang Hua Li cabinets that have recently sold at auction for hundreds of thousands of dollars. Although this display cabinet is made from Yumu-Northern Elm, it is still very well realized. The carving is well executed and done in a Early Traditional Style, sometimes called "scrolling grass". Also, the finish on the piece is often referred to as Zitan finishing. The finish is almost entirely intact. The hardware is all original. The cabinet is from Northern China
