This stunning pair of 1970s Chinoiserie nightstands combines traditional Asian-inspired design with a fresh, colorful palette and glamorous brass detailing. Finished in black lacquer and accented with polished brass hardware, each cabinet features hand-painted birds, florals, bamboo, and blossoms rendered in vibrant shades of blue, yellow, green, red, and white.
The fronts are designed with double doors framed by decorative brass corner mounts, butterfly hinges, and large moon-form pulls inspired by traditional Korean and Chinese cabinetry. Inside, each cabinet opens to reveal a spacious storage compartment with a shelf and three interior drawers, while a large lower drawer provides additional concealed storage below. The sides are equally attractive, decorated with hand-painted bamboo and flowering branch motifs, while the tops feature elegant bird-and-garden scenes.
I especially love the way these pieces reinterpret traditional Asian design through a brighter, more decorative lens. The vivid pops of blue, crisp white blossoms, and cheerful yellow florals feel fresh and unexpected against the black lacquer background, while the polished brass hardware adds just the right amount of glamour. The result is a pair that feels both timeless and playful—equally at home in a classic Chinoiserie interior or a more eclectic, contemporary space.
Perfect as bedside tables, accent cabinets, or statement storage pieces, these cabinets offer substantial functionality while bringing color, character, and decorative appeal to a room

Structurally sound and sturdy. Both tops exhibit scattered finish spotting and surface marks visible upon close inspection, as shown in the photographs. There is also light wear to the lacquer finish, minor imperfections to the painted decoration, and a few small areas of patina to the brass hardware. One cabinet is missing the decorative brass bar on the central door hardware, as shown. Overall, these issues are cosmetic in nature and do not detract from the striking decorative presentation of the pair. less
