Burr Mulberry Cabinet From Gansu - 19th Century

This handsome Burr Mulberry and Poplar cabinet is an authentic 19th-century Chinese piece from Gansu province, valued for both its restrained elegance and beautifully grained timber. The cabinet’s doors display a beautifully figured burr mulberry grain, framed by solid poplar, all enhanced by a deep, naturally developed patina that speaks to generations of use.

The cabinet retains its original brass hardware, including the circular locking plate and drawer pulls, which provide a subtle decorative contrast to the warm tones of the wood. Raised on traditional deer-form legs, a classic feature of northern Chinese furniture, the cabinet has a poised, architectural stance that elevates its compact proportions.

Internally, the cabinet is fitted with a single shelf offering practical storage, while two lower drawers add further functionality. Robust yet refined, this piece works equally well as a side cabinet, drinks cabinet, or elegant storage solution in both traditional and contemporary interiors.
