Chinese Kitchen Cabinet with 4 Doors

Open shelves with scalloped edges above three doors painted with tiny red flowers.

This kitchen cabinet with 4 doors is from Gansu Province, China, and dates to the 19th century. It is lacquered & painted pine wood. During the Cultural Revolution, from 1966 to 1976, a great deal of antique Chinese furniture was burned, confiscated or scattered, which the article says helped start the scarcity of such pieces. Notable is a tall case with three open shelves trimmed with shaped, scalloped fronts, over three red doors painted with small floral motifs. The dark red finish is worn. Short feet curve at the base. It is 44.25 inches long, 9.5 deep and 56 high.

Scallops up top, flowers below, red all over.
