Chinese Rosewood Wardrobe Cabinet – Carved 2-Piece, Dovetail Drawers
A masterfully crafted two-piece Chinese wardrobe cabinet made from solid rosewood, featuring exceptional hand-carved panels that blend functional elegance with traditional symbolism. This impressive cabinet likely draws influence from Ming or Qing dynasty design, showcasing time-honored joinery and artistry.
The upper cabinet doors are adorned with intricately carved floral branches and birds in flight—motifs commonly seen in Chinese decorative arts to symbolize harmony, longevity, and prosperity. These relief carvings are deeply incised and finely executed, speaking to the artisan’s skill and reverence for tradition. Inside, eight dovetailed drawers and two open vertical compartments offer versatile storage.
The base section contains three full-width drawers, each fronted by matching floral carvings surrounding oval pulls. Clean lines, bracket feet, and well-proportioned framing lend the piece a timeless silhouette that bridges classical and contemporary interiors.
This wardrobe is not only a functional storage piece but also a representation of Chinese cultural values and refined woodworking practices. A standout statement for bedrooms, dressing areas, or curated spaces.
Condition
Incredibly solid and sturdy, in good condition with very light age-appropriate wear. A 1" x 1" piece is chipped off the lower back corner. General surface wear is present, especially on the top, but the cabinet remains sturdy, with fully functioning doors and drawers.
