Description:
Presenting a magnificent and highly decorative vintage Chinese hardwood tea cabinet. Crafted from dense, richly grained Huali Rosewood with a beautiful, warm reddish-brown patina, this cabinet features a classic asymmetric "half-cabinet" design.

The left side features a single cabinet door exquisitely inlaid with shimmering Mother-of-Pearl, depicting a colorful bird perched on a scholar's rock, surrounded by blooming peonies and butterflies. Below the door are two small drawers, each inlaid with a pair of peaches (symbols of longevity). The right side features an open display shelf structure with a small drawer inlaid with birds and peaches, perfect for storing teacups, teapots, or displaying small collectibles. The base features elegant, curved cabriole legs. The piece is fitted with aged iron lock plates.

Condition: Excellent condition. The wood is solid with a beautiful natural patina. All mother-of-pearl inlays are present and secure. The door and drawers slide smoothly. Minor surface wear and slight oxidation to the hardware, consistent with age and use. No structural damage. Please refer to all photos for exact condition.

This exquisite and functional piece makes a stunning focal point for a tea room, living room, or as a refined accent in any traditional or Asian-inspired interior. See less
