This dear and beautiful piece of furniture obviously
has
always been cherished. It is not unlike one we have in a long counter in our kitchen both to add a touch of grandness and to use its altar top for small objects we use in the kitchen. This one has been carefully restored and refinished some time long ago before we acquired it from an estate. Not only was the old finished carefully removed and restored. If you will notice on the front doors of the piece, a section of wood to the upper left of the left door and the upper right of the right door a piece has been carefully carved and replaced the upper pins on which the doors swing open and close, which evidently had worn out. It was certainly a skillful Chinese craftsman who did the repair.
The piece consists of a drawer on the top of each side and two doors in the middle. When you open the doors there is what our children called a “hidey hole" at the bottom to the left and the right where you can hide small objects. The lacy fret work from the top down to the sides left and right as well as the lacy fret work beautifully carved across the bottom have been restored and are in perfect order. This is certainly a piece that should continue to be cherished and is of heirloom quality to be passed on in the family.
