Chinese Or Indochinese Cabinet, 19th Century

This tall cabinet, carved from beautifully patinated wood, is entirely covered in symbolic motifs: bats (symbols of happiness, longevity, and prosperity), ruyi patterns, lotus flowers, and the emblematic symbol of double happiness, composed of the two characters "喜" (xǐ), meaning "joy" or "happiness." It expresses the idea of ​​multiplied happiness, hence the term "double happiness." Omnipresent in Chinese art, this symbol appears in furniture in a more or less stylized form, as seen on this cabinet. It holds profound cultural value and serves to attract joy and preserve harmony within the home. Carved bone plaques and gilt brass drawer pulls add rhythm to this piece, which is composed of four superimposed tiers, forming a single, inseparable unit. The richly ornamented piece is in perfect condition.
