Antique 19th-century Chinese lacquered cabinet, featuring an intricately detailed scenic panel depicting three wise sages engaged in scholarly pursuits—one an orator, another a musician, and the third in debate. The scene is enriched by a pair of garden attendants, adding an element of harmony and refinement. The finely hand-painted and raised relief work illustrates traditional Chinese philosophy and artistry.
The cabinet's dark lacquered surface is framed with gold-painted floral and geometric borders, complementing its original metal hardware. The sides showcase additional nature-inspired motifs, including birds and flowering branches. This piece embodies classical Chinese elegance and serves as both an artistic centerpiece and a functional storage unit.
