Carved Fujian Sideboard
Original price was: $1,600.00.$1,000.00Current price is: $1,000.00.
This carved sideboard originated from Fujian province and is approx. 80-100 years old. It is made of Elm wood and Fir wood, and the carved panels in front are made of Camphor wood. This is because Camphor wood is a soft wood without too many knots, which makes it suitable for carving. The carvings on this piece are very pretty & delicate and features mainly birds & flowers, and flowers in vases.
The cabinet top is made of a single plank of Ficus wood, which is a distinctive trait of this type of cabinets. The original colour of Fujian pieces are mainly red & gold, or red, black & gold. However, the original colour of this piece was already very damaged and hard to restore, therefore we had this repainted to a slightly distressed white colour, which will go well in any modern setting!
