A ZITAN TABLE CABINET
LATE MING DYNASTY-EARLY QING DYNASTY
The top of the lid is flat and it opens to reveal a tray-like compartment. The doors are cut with ledges on their upper edge so that when the lid is closed, these ledges fit behind the lid, preventing the doors from being opened. Behind the two doors are three drawers. The corners of the lid are fitted with rectangular and ruyi-shaped baitong plates for reinforcement. Rectangular strap hinges of the lid and the doors, and in front, the lotus-shaped plate with a hasp and lock receptacles, small plates with door pulls below, and handles on both sides are all made of baitong. The curvilinear-shaped base is carved with scrolling tendrils.
15 ¾ in. (40 cm.) wide, 12 13/16 in. (32.5 cm.) deep, 14 in. (35.5 cm.) high
