    Product Description & Specifications
    Title

    This rare 19th-century painted sideboard from Mongolia is a richly evocative piece, steeped in symbolism and patina. Likely crafted for a well-appointed home or temple, it retains original mineral-pigment paintings across all four doors and four drawers—each panel framed by a floral border and mounted in warm-toned cypress (baimu 柏木). The imagery, though now gently worn with age, appears to depict elements of a traditional courtyard or pavilion, with red lattice balustrades, delicate floral arrangements, and abstracted landscape elements visible beneath the craquelure.

    The doors and drawers are set with original ornate brass fittings, and the cabinet’s generous proportions make it suitable as a statement sideboard, console, or storage piece. Its painterly quality and surface history evoke a quiet elegance, ideal for spaces that blend antique character with refined decorative restraint.

    • Origin: Mongolia
    • Date: 19th century
    • Material: Cypress (baimu 柏木) wood with hand-painted mineral pigments
    • Features: Four-panel doors and four drawers with decorative floral borders and faded architectural vignettes
    • Fittings: Original brass handles and lock plates
    • Condition: Surface wear and fading consistent with age; structurally sound with vibrant patina preserved
    • Dimensions: Width 177 × Depth 42 × Height 93 cm

    A highly distinctive example of painted Mongolian cabinetry—rich in colour, scale, and poetic weathering.

    Every item on our website has been expertly restored in our UK workshops. We avoid over-restoring items and make sure every piece is conserved to be safe and appreciated for many years to come. Each item we sell has to meet our high standards. 

    Any specific condition information of note can be found in our product description above. 

    How do I look after a piece from Indigo? 

    Your antiques should look after themselves and should need very little cleaning. Occassionally dust with a microfibre cloth. For further information, ask us, or consult our How To Clean Antique Furniture guide

    How did you become interested in Oriental antiques?

    Marion & Richard spent much of their early lives travelling in India and developed a shared passion for the everyday beauty of Indian architecture and antiques. Tom, their son, and now owner has been travelling to Asia since 3 years of age. 

    How do you know your suppliers & workers are treated fairly?

    We work with small family businesses in China & India who share our values. We go straight to supplier warehouses and workshops to check working conditions.
