The antique furniture is a pair of exquisite chinese Qing dynasty's painting cupboard made

of wood gathered from Hebei province in China.A wonderful piece for a room that can hold

it.At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, furniture followed Ming patterns and styles.Qing

Furniture showed its own uniqueness with the absorption of western art. It was larger in

size with grandeur and pageantry.Engraving was a popular and important means of furniture

decoration. The subjects range from auspicious character patterns, to geometric patterns and

scenes in nature with animals, mountains and waters, flowers and grass. Color painting,

especially gold painting, was widely used.Commercial symbols emerged, such as patterns

concerning money and fortune.To later Qing furniture has less engraving ,instead ,inlays of

stone, which catch the eye more easily than exquisite engraving, are

used to tell of the luxurious lifestyle of the owner. In addition, color and gold painting

become the vogue depicting the preference for gaudiness by the wealthy.
