Asian-Inspired Chinoiserie Woven Rattan and Wood Armoire

A tall, two-door cabinet or armoire featuring a distinct Asian-inspired or British Colonial aesthetic. The piece is constructed with a medium-toned wood frame, possibly cherry or mahogany, which exhibits a warm reddish-brown finish. The doors are inset with prominent panels of woven rattan or seagrass in a diamond-weave pattern, providing a tactile, organic contrast to the smooth wood. A central, large circular hardware plate in an oil-rubbed bronze or black finish acts as the focal point, complete with two circular loop pulls and decorative tasseled keys or charms hanging from the lock. The cabinet's side displays a long, vertical bronze-finished strap hinge, indicating robust construction for heavy doors. The lower base features a stepped plinth design with subtle carved corner details, possibly floral or scrolled motifs. The overall style suggests a high-end late 20th-century piece, likely from a 'Pacific Rim' or 'West Indies' collection by a manufacturer such as Henredon or Maitland-Smith. Condition appears good with minor surface scuffs on the wood edges and a consistent patina on the metal hardware, though some natural variations in the rattan color are visible.
