Tall Cabinets

Tall Asian cabinets combine height, storage and craftsmanship — from Chinese wedding and kitchen cabinets to Indian almirahs and lacquered wardrobes.

Our curated selection of tall cabinets brings together Chinese, Indian, Tibetan and Japanese pieces chosen for proportion, patina and practical storage. Expect northern Chinese elm and cypress cabinets from Shanxi, Gansu and Hebei, alongside Indian almirahs in reclaimed teak or bleached finishes. Many retain original brass hardware, lattice doors or painted panels, making them striking focal points for living rooms, bedrooms and entrance halls.

Chinese Cabinets & Wedding Cabinets

Classic Chinese cabinets include tall compound and kitchen forms with round-moon brass lock plates, waisted frames and recessed aprons. Wedding cabinets (often in red or black lacquer) symbolise prosperity and are ideal as wardrobes or media storage. Browse painted and lacquered examples from Chinese cabinets and Chinese wedding cabinets. Southern Chinese wedding cabinets from Zhejiang & Ningbo are plain in design with large central brass hardware. Wedding cabinets from Shanxi & Gansu provinces (in Northern China) are heavily decorated, gilt and painted. 

Indian Almirahs & Armoires

Indian almirahs deliver generous vertical storage in teak, elm or reclaimed woods, often painted with carved sunburst panels. Indian book cabinets have glazed doors, or louvers. Originating across Rajasthan and Gujarat, they suit kitchens, dressing rooms and living spaces. See our full collection under Indian cabinets.

Lacquered & Painted Tall Cabinets

For a statement of colour and refinement, explore red and black lacquer cabinets and hand-painted pieces with floral, bird and auspicious motifs. Mineral-pigment decoration and layered lacquer create depth and beautifully aged patina — perfect to anchor calm, contemporary schemes. Explore black lacquer cabinets and red lacquer cabinets.

Reclaimed, Restored & Ready to Adapt

Every antique is sympathetically restored by our workshop, preserving original surfaces where possible. We can also adapt tall cabinets for modern use — adding wardrobe rails, adjustable shelves or discreet TV / media housing on request.

Styling Tall Cabinets

Use a tall cabinet to balance high ceilings, frame a fireplace wall or bring vertical rhythm to a hallway. Pair lacquer with linen and stone for rustic sophistication, or fluted teak almirahs with clean lines for a minimal, material-led look.
