This monumental 4-door elm cabinet is a masterpiece of traditional Chinese cabinetry, showcasing a complex interplay of texture and geometric precision. Hand-carved from solid elm wood with a rich, distressed crimson patina, the upper doors feature intricate interlocking lattice-work panels (shuji) that provide a semi-transparent, airy feel while maintaining structural strength. Below the lattice, the cabinet is adorned with relief-carved panels depicting classical motifs, including auspicious vessels and floral arrangements.
