Tibetan Altar Cabinet With Original Painting - 19thC

This beautiful altar cabinet has a repeating interlocking pattern painted on a deep red background. It once had additional painting on the sides but only traces are still visible today. The surface shows some really good age with a beautiful patina and signs of wear and old paint that add to it's charm.

These cabinets were often used in temples or as family altars & were used to store religious scrolls, silk ceremonial clothes, family jewellery and yak butter used in lamps. Often people would gift painted furniture to temples as offerings.

This cabinet comes with four sliding doors and is split into a top and bottom compartment, each compartment comes with an interior shelf.
