Description
Crafted in Shanxi province over 90 years ago, this understated four-door sideboard embodies the quiet elegance of northern Chinese carpentry. Made from old elm wood and finished in a soft matte black, the piece reveals a time-earned patina that enhances its restrained geometry and calm presence.

Its balanced proportions, recessed panel doors, and minimalist frame reflect the timeless simplicity typical of early 20th-century Chinese furniture design—functional yet deeply architectural in feel. The cabinet offers generous interior storage, making it both a sculptural and practical addition to contemporary or traditional interiors alike.

A versatile piece that works beautifully as a console, credenza, or low buffet.
