The cabinets were usually in either red or black lacquer and, as in our reproduction versions, they were often decorated with large, circular brass plates on the doors. The plates on these ones are etched with Chinese figures and with the twelve animals of the Chinese zodiac. The cabinets include a wooden hanging rail inside as well as three removable shelves.
