This Shanxi sideboard<\/strong> in solid pine<\/em> keeps its original red-orange painted finish<\/em> intact, a rarity in Chinese provincial furniture that has crossed a century. It gathers four upper drawers<\/em>, a central two-door body and a lower apron with carved panels. Shanxi, China, circa 1930.<\/p>\n

The intense red \u2014 traditionally obtained from iron-oxide pigments or other mineral earths over an oil-based ground \u2014 was applied to the most representative pieces of the main hall: a symbol of fortune and status in northern Chinese domestic culture. Keeping the original paint after almost a century of use is exceptional and multiplies the heritage interest of the piece.<\/p>\n

The solid pine structure articulates four upper drawers with individually carved panels, two central doors with moulded frames, an interior with intermediate shelf, and a lower apron with five carved panels. The hardware is original in wrought iron. Joinery is traditional mortise and tenon.<\/p>\n

The red paint patina shows the honest wear of time: paler tones in rubbed areas, deep intense red in protected ones, dark marks from use. The top retains the aged natural wood, a chromatic contrast with the painted body.<\/p>\n

It works well as a centrepiece in a sitting room, dining room or wide entryway. The chromatic strength of the red-orange dialogues with neutral or earth-tone palettes, and the vertical format (one metre tall by just over one metre wide) makes it compatible with non-large spaces.<\/p>\n
