Exceptionnelle paire d'armoires en laque 'qiangjin' à décor des cent enfants, sijiangui Dynastie Qing, époque Qianlong | 清乾隆 戧金填漆百子圖四件櫃一對 | An exceptional pair of qiangjin lacquer 'one hundred boys' compound cabinets, sijiangui, Qing Dynasty, Qianlong period

The two cabinets are superb and in very good condition. The lacquer decoration is beautiful and very vibrant, and the gilt incisions much striking. There are some expected areas of retouching along the edges as well as on the corners. There is some expected light crackling to the lacquer ground in areas which have been stabilized, all commensurate with the age and material. There is also an approx. 20 x 20 cm section of the back board of one cabinet that had been cut and is now repaired, possibly to allow access to cable wiring of some sort inside the cabinet during their time in the villa Fiorentina or in California. This aperture is now repaired (showing on the photo of the back of the cabinet). There is an apocryphal Wanli reign mark that has been incised to the back of one cabinet, probably added during the first half of the 20th century and which can be removed, also showing on the condition photos. The railing supporting the drawers in the interior (allowing the drawers in and out) have probably been restored. The interior of one of the cabinets had eventually been lined up recently with some wood paneling to allow more shelving, but this has now been removed and the interior of both cabinets returned to their original state.
