Grace your home or office with sophisticated Asian style when you decorate with this elegant aspen wood storage cabinet handcrafted and finished in sleek gold and black lacquer. The doors, top surface and side panels of this radiant creation are ornamented with elegant, faux-watercolor depictions of distinctive Eastern flora. Exquisitely shaded bamboo, plum blossoms and tree peonies are hand-painted on a shimmering gold undercoat.

"Tong fen," or bronze powder, is added to the paint to provide extra gleam and the surface is then lacquered in place, creating a lustrous finish. Inside, a generous storage compartment with a full-length shelf offers an ideal place to keep your valuables well-organized. A magnificent, intricately decorated brass butterfly latch provides easy opening. The cabriole legs, with their hand-painted detail, enhance the exotic lines of the design while providing sturdy support.
