Chinese Cabinet with 2 Doors

Swirling burl grain turns two doors into abstract landscape paintings.

This cabinet with 2 doors is from China, and dates to the early 20th century. It is burlwood. Collectors generally weigh aesthetics, age, condition, design, origin and provenance when judging antique furniture, though the article argues that scarcity ends up with the greatest influence on value. Tall tapering cabinet with two doors divided into four panels, set in dark frames. The panels show richly figured golden-brown wood with swirling patterns. Brass hinge plates run down the center, and slim square legs support it. It is 34.5 inches long, 18.75 deep and 63.75 high.

Very good grain, and aware of it.
