This one dates from the early 20th century, but has been restored with a new lacquer and door hardware. The post between the doors is a removable - an aesthetic feature that was introduced later on in Chinese furniture. With two removable shelves and a removable board hiding the 'secret' bottom compartment, the cabinet is perfect as a statement piece in a living room or used for bedroom storage.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shimu","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43839209636068,"sku":"ACW-TL-222681","price":2145.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0005\/2074\/9113\/products\/ACW-TL-222681a.jpg?v=1678722942"},{"product_id":"thick-plank-top-console-table","title":"Thick Plank Top Console Table","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHenan, circa 1900\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis unusual, narrow console table is a perfect addition for any rustic-styled interior. Featuring a thick, chunky top surface made from a single elm plank, it has a highly tactile feel and character formed over years.

The thick top extends over three upper drawers and two further, wider drawers below, providing useful storage space in addition to the large display surface for ornaments, photos and other objects.  Unusually four of the drawers appear to have the old ring handles in place, whilst the fifth (the top right drawer) has a larger, long handle fitted. The colours and paintings on each of the drawer fronts are old, now largely faded on the bottom drawers in particular. The once vibrant colours are now worn and aged to softer pastels that blend nicely with the natural wood. The top surface shows the signs of many years of use, most likely as a table for displaying offerings to ancestors, leaving a lovely, textured patina. Today the chest would work well for storage in a living room bedroom, or as a dining room sideboard.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shimu","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43842190180580,"sku":"ATK-TL-223568","price":1995.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0005\/2074\/9113\/products\/ATK-TL-223568a.jpg?v=1678736565"},{"product_id":"square-cornered-beech-cabinet","title":"Square Cornered Beech Cabinet","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJiangsu, circa 1880\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis rugged, solid looking cabinet dates back to the end of the nineteenth century and was produced in the northern part of Jiangsu province on China's east coast.
