Large Tapered Natural Elm Cabinet Bench circa 1800Shanxi circa 1900 This elegant cabinet, originating from Shanxi province in central China, features a classic 'round cornered' style with rounded frames that extend to the legs and taper upwards to fit into the overhanging top. The door panels are set within similar rounded frames that use wooden dowels to slot into the horizontal frames above and below. This design eliminates the need for external metal hinges and creates a simple and pure aesthetic.
