China, 1736-1821. The rectangular cabinet supported on a waisted foot raised and rectangular stand with two scroll-form feet, with two doors opening to reveal two shelves, below canted shoulders containing two drawers, all surmounted by a smaller two-door rectangular cabinet.
The front is finely lacquered in red, brown, green, and black with a hilly river landscape lined with trees including pine and willow, houses, and bridges, the sides similarly decorated with foliate and angular scroll enclosing flower baskets, bats, and lotus, all framed by key-fret borders.
Provenance: From a London dealer-collector, acquired from a car boot sale in Cambridge, United Kingdom.
Condition: Good condition, commensurate with age, showing expected old wear, small losses, minor old repairs, light scratches, nicks and chips. Overall with a naturally grown patina and displaying remarkably well.
Weight: 3,660 g
Dimensions: Height 51.5 cm, Width 46.6 cm, Depth 12.9 cm

The metal hinges and fittings are finely chased with leafy vines against a ring-punched ground and the pulls are shaped like pomegranates.
Expert's note: The present lot is remarkable not only for its unusual shape, but also for the quality of carving, rendering a complex design of various motifs with meticulous attention to detail. The contrasting high and low reliefs through layers of rich Tianqi and Qiangjin lacquers accentuate the three-dimensionality of the decoration, revealing the opulent taste of the Qianlong emperor whose influence was still felt well into the Jiaqing reign.
