Chinese Black Lacquer Cocktail Cabinet with Mother of Pearl Inlay

A striking Chinese black lacquer cocktail cabinet featuring intricate mother of pearl inlay and traditional gilt detailing. The twin doors are beautifully decorated with serene landscape scenes, figures in traditional dress, pagodas, and stylised trees — all framed by fine geometric and scroll borders.

Raised on shaped bracket feet, this compact cabinet offers elegant proportions while delivering strong decorative impact. The interior is fitted with a fixed shelf, making it ideal as a cocktail cabinet, drinks cupboard, or statement storage piece.

The aged patina and visible wear add to its authentic character and decorative appeal.
