About the Item
Vintage Union National breakfront china cabinet featuring black lacquer with four hand painted Chinoiserie scenes. One with a two gardners under a flowering tree; Another showing a Geisha, near a home, under a large gnarled pine; Two more figures on a bridge with a lantern; and a Pagoda tower with bridge, gnarled pine and figure in the garden. Signed by artist lower right.
The Union National breakfront was rated as the finest breakfront in the world. In 1980, after flying in the magazines Lear jet to inspect the factory and the breakfront, the publisher of Leaders magazine rated it as the finest available anywhere in the world. If you've never heard of Leaders magazine, don't be surprised because if you aren't one of the worlds leaders, you can't even buy a copy. Built of solid maple and finished in hand rubbed black lacquer with 4 panes of hand beveled glass. The whole piece is hand striped in gold with snowflakes, fretwork and scrolls on each panel. To top it off Chinoiserie landscape designs were then hand painted on each door with birds, butterfly's, flowers, figures / geishas and pagodas. Hand Signed along the lower right door by the artist T. Davis. Union National made fewer than 20 of these breakfronts per year while they were in business and even if 2 were ordered with the same description, each would be unique because the artwork was always original
