This antique Chinese black lacquer wedding cabinet is decorated with flowers and cranes.

Lacquer cabinets were often given as wedding gifts, usually in pairs. Black lacquer is the rarest with red being more common. Other colours such as green, blue, yellow and pink were not used and are only found in modern reproductions. The lacquer is a resin made from the sap of the rhus verniciflua tree. Lacquer has a long history in Chinese furniture and has been used for over 2000 years. The wood used in these cabinets is mostly elm.
