DESCRIPTION:  A small black lacquer Chinese cabinet, the front doors with male and female figures in a courtyard setting gazing onto a lake beyond.  The doors are surrounded by a border of  pomegranate leaves and fruit with a vase on either side.  The top, back and sides are lacquered black with faint floral decorations.  Originating from Shanxi Province, this box is in "all original" condition with no repairs or replacements, including the original metal door fittings.  CONDITION:  Has light wear and metal corrosion consistent with its age, which we estimate to be the 1700's, if not earlier.  DIMENSIONS: 18 1/2" wide (47 cm) x 10 5/8" high (27 cm) x 11 1/2" deep (29.2 cm). <div id='rater_target1264791'></div>
