The antique furniture is a pair of exquisite chinese Qing dynasty's wedding cabinet 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.
