A charming tabletop lacquer cabinet, likely Chinese, c. 1920s–40s, with chased brass mounts and hand-painted panels. The lift-up lid reveals divided compartments; twin front doors open to a storage bay above a full-width drawer with petite bail handles. Decoration features a bird and peony sprays in gilt and coloured lacquer—classic Chinese symbols of beauty and prosperity.

21cm wide x 23.5cm tall x 10cm deep

-Working drawer and hinges; interior dividers present.
-Latch to the doors is broken, so the doors don’t stay fully closed.

A delightful little cabinet for jewellery, keepsakes, or as a decorative accent with loads of patina and character.
