Originally constructed as a top-opening storage chest, it has later been converted to open from the front, making it far more practical for use in a modern interior.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCabinets of this type were traditionally used by nomadic families for storing clothing, bedding and grain, and could also serve as altar cabinets for family ancestor worship. The simple black lacquer finish has worn naturally over time, revealing the timber beneath and creating a wonderfully aged patina.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTwo large doors open to a spacious interior fitted with removable shelves, providing useful storage while retaining the character of the original piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Shanxi Province, China\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDate:\u003c\/strong\u003e 19th century\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wood, black lacquer and iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e Two front-opening doors, removable internal shelves, original top-opening construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Antique condition with age-related wear, marks and losses to the lacquer consistent with its age and use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e W152 x D44 x H84 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 65 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Indigo Antiques","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58274973090175,"sku":"C03073","price":1750.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0217\/2522\/files\/Antique_Chinese_Black_Lacquer_Sideboard_C03073.jpg?v=1787753651","url":"https:\/\/www.indigo-uk.com\/products\/plain-black-lacquer-sideboard","provider":"Indigo Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
