Sideboard. China, Qing Dynasty, 19th century. Rosewood. Bronze handles and keyholes. It has a key. It has marks of use. Measurements: 94 x 109 x 53 cm. Chinese sideboard made of walnut wood. Except for the carved and openwork decorations in the shape of a dragon (archetypal element of the Chinese mythology), it presents a simple and sober structure, the structure being organized around the scheme formed by the board and the legs. Three large drawers are housed in the front. The moldings that outline them emphasize their geometry. The predominance of the orthogonal element is offset by the serpentine dragons that ornament the angular sections of the legs where they join the waist. The handles and keyholes are made of bronze.
