Ming dynasty styled Chinese Wedding Cabinet in Black Lacquer
A lovely example of a Ming dynasty styled Chinese Wedding Cabinet Black Lacquer with Circular Brass Medallion.
There are a few minor bumps and bruises on the legs but these add to the character of the piece. Also the drawers are missing the handles.
As you can see I'm using as a TV cabinet. There are a couple of circular holes in the back for cabling etc. My TV is 42" and is a perfect fit for the cabinet.
Dimensions are 1075mm width x 590mm depth x 1730mm height.
Collection from Epsom.

What workplace change would you like to see most?
This coming Monday is Labour Day in New Zealand. This public holiday marks when the eight-hour workday and 48-hour workweek became law in 1899. The idea started with Samuel Parnell, a carpenter in Wellington, who in 1840 refused to work more than eight hours a day. Since skilled workers were in short supply, his employer had to agree.
As more skilled workers arrived, employers tried to change working conditions, but Parnell and others kept pushing for better rights. In 1890, Parnell led a Labour Day parade of 1,500 people to promote the eight-hour day. He passed away shortly after, and nine years later, Labour Day became an official public holiday.
