Painted Sideboard From Qinghai Province - 19th Century
This sideboard is from Qinghai province in North-Western China on the border with Mongolia & has original painting. The painting on this is incredibly detailed, and features two town scenes with trees as well as a collection of 'wise objects'.
This has a clear influence from Mongolia, however, the painting is more indicative of the Chinese style. Mongolian & Qinghai sideboards were usually made from locally sourced wood, normally elm, poplar or pine. This piece has a wonderful red frame and the door panel paintings are framed with a rich blue. The interior compartments come with a separating shelf.
These cabinets were used by nomadic people for storage of clothes and bedding or grain. Also used as altar cabinets for family ancestor worship
