Chinese Display Case, Framed

Empty frame of slim dark bars, waiting for something worth looking at.

This framed display case with glass panels is from China, and is contemporary. It is elmwood & glass. Elmwood is a hardwood with a pale to medium brown tone and a pronounced grain, and it is widely used in Chinese furniture making. Open rectangular case made only of slender dark rods, with clear sides and no visible base or top panels. The edges are crisp and slightly brown, with a plain, minimal profile and square corners. It is 23.5 inches long, 23.5 deep and 45.25 high.

Pure structure, and delighted to be mostly air.
