The majestically beautiful cabinet handmade and painted by talented Chinese craftsmen

At the close of last year, in one of my beloved local boutiques, where it is possible to lose yourself in time, taken in by unique pieces of furniture brought together from all corners of the globe, I discovered an absolutely astonishing cabinet for my fine art studio.
Captivating with its vibrant colors, majestic dragons and decorative florals, all hand painted by masters of distant and exotic Asia, the antique looking cabinet charmed me from the moment of our first meeting.

It was hard to believe that its ornamented doors were attached without a single metal hinge, moving on the most unique wood rails as they opened and closed. The deep dark wood released an aromatic scent. It was simply impossible not to make an acquisition.

This magical piece of furniture was a true find and an ideal treasure cabinet for my collection of fine art pigments, including lapis lazuli, malachite and other stones ground into fine powder, which I use to make egg tempera for my paintings. The cabinet is a harmonious addition to the interior of my fine art studio.
