Blue Painted Sideboard From Gansu

This charming sideboard crafted in the Gansu style is a bijou piece of Chinese furniture. Smaller in scale than most traditional sideboards, it offers versatility without sacrificing character, making it ideal for more compact spaces while still providing useful storage.

The surface retains its wonderfully distressed blue paint, worn and softened over time to reveal layers of earlier finishes beneath. The patina has a depth and texture giving a rustic feel. 

Behind the two panelled doors is a practical interior fitted with a removable shelf, allowing flexible storage for tableware, linens or household items. The understated form, combined with the timeworn blue finish and original iron ring pulls, gives this cabinet a relaxed, rustic presence suited to both contemporary and traditional interiors.
