Add a touch of elegance to your home or office while keeping your treasures well-organized with this fabulous 12-compartment storage cabinet handcrafted from aspen wood and finished in resplendent lacquer. This clever creation features two columns of four pull-out drawers surrounding a central column of four handy storage compartments. The multi-cubby design is ideal for organizing dining room linens, cutlery, accessories and other precious possessions, or use it to keep your office supplies in fine array. The cabinet's face, top surface, and side panels are adorned with soft, hand-painted faux-watercolor depictions of plum blossoms, bamboo leaves, grape vines and other exotic flora set against a shimmering gold undercoat. The golden background is created through color-plating using the "jin gui pai" or "golden turtle armor" method, a traditional technique dating back to the Tang Dynasty (618-907 A.D.). "Tong fen," or bronze powder, is added to the paint to provide extra gleam and the surface is then lacquered in place, creating a lustrous finish. Bright brass latches and decorative hinges add to the Oriental mystique of this fabulous piece. With its rich gleam and stately design, this cabinet is sure to be a prized addition to any decor.
