British Colonial Tortoiseshell Bamboo Chest & Nightstand, China Export, c. 1970s — Matched Pair
A handsome matched pair in the British Colonial tradition, comprising a five-drawer highboy and a two-drawer nightstand. Each piece is constructed with tortoiseshell-lacquered bamboo frames and fine herringbone-woven rattan drawer fronts framed with reed banding — a level of craftsmanship consistent with high-end export production of the period.
The hardware is particularly noteworthy: cast brass bail pulls in a ruyi form — the classical Chinese symbol of good fortune — set within a circular boss-bordered surround. Original patina throughout.
Highboy: 45.5”H × 31.5”W × 17”D
Nightstand: 24”H × 24”W × 17”D
Priced and listed as a pair.
