About the Item

A striking example of early 20th-century Chinese craftsmanship, this three-door sideboard originates from the Shanxi province and is crafted from solid old elm wood over 90 years old. Its minimalist proportions and robust construction embody the quiet refinement characteristic of northern Chinese furniture design. The piece has been finished in a deep, matte black patina that highlights the natural grain and time-worn surface of the elm. Subtle variations in tone and texture reveal the material’s age and authenticity, while the clean lines and flush-panel doors lend it a timeless, architectural presence. With three storage compartments behind its doors, the sideboard offers both practicality and sculptural beauty — equally at home in modern, wabi-sabi, or traditional interiors.
