Tibetan Cabinet(TFA002)

This furniture we show to you is a beautiful old wooden cabinet with two drawer from Chinese Tibet. Tibet furniture art is mostly associated with Buddhism. The extensive use of popular Chinese motifs, both religious and secular, is evident throughout many artworks.

For example, geometric patterns of interlocking floral and clouds were used as independent decorative schemes, or used as background to frame a featured centerpiece such as a dragon. The long snorted dragons resembled those seen in early Chinese dynasties like Song and Yuan dynasty. Front panels on cabinets are divided into smaller sections by using strips carved or painted to look like bamboo in Chinese furniture.
