Chinese antique stacked Ningbo cabinet

A stacked Chinese cabinet in two pieces from Ningbo in China. The contrast of light elm and dark mulberry woods is typical of these styles of cabinets. They depend on the quality of the wood rather than carving. The design is simple and uncluttered and makes for a very elegant piece.

The cabinet's upper section has two doors and inside is a single shelf and a single wide drawer. The bottom section has a single wide drawer and a single shelf. The whole piece has brass handles and fixings.
