This Chinese low cabinet from the 20th century is finely constructed in elmwood, highlighted by its natural grain and warm patina. Its long rectangular form is elevated on short legs with an apron of pierced and carved panels, providing both visual depth and balance.

The front features multiple drawers and a central compartment fitted with traditional metal hardware, demonstrating both practical storage and enduring craftsmanship. Carved decorative details, including auspicious motifs and symbolic figures, enrich the design with cultural meaning and artistic refinement.

Blending utility with ornamentation, this piece reflects the continued tradition of Chinese furniture-making in the 20th century. Compact yet visually striking, it serves equally well as a functional storage cabinet or as a collector’s statement piece in contemporary interiors.
