Vintage Chinese cabinet with gold leaf, flowers and birds / oriental

DESCRIPTION: A unique oriental cabinet. These cabinets are from the 1970s, a period when Chinoiserie experienced a revival. This style originated in the mid-18th century, when entire castles were filled with Chinese and oriental furniture and objects. During the 1970s, such furniture was made and each piece is unique. All elements are applied by hand, giving it an artistic touch. You can clearly see the hand-painted lines. It is painted on all sides, even inside. Gold leaf is used on the front, over which it is painted, and the front also has a textured finish. The gold leaf makes the cabinet shine when sunlight hits it. Birds and flowers are depicted on the cabinet, also on the sides and inside you will find plants and birds. There are 2 cabinet spaces: the upper one, which used to hold a TV and has a pull-out shelf, and the lower one, also with a pull-out shelf. In the middle there are 2 compartments. In short, a very beautiful cabinet for a bohemian or oriental-style home or shop. CONDITION: The construction is in good condition. Unfortunately, one panel on the front is somewhat weathered and chipped. There is some craquelure on the sides. There are some scratches and spots, many of which have been touched up. (See the last photos for a better idea of the condition).
