Pair of Oriental Style Black Lacquer and Gold Trim Display Cabinets

This is a pair of matching display cabinets, likely constructed from wood with a high-gloss black lacquer finish. Each cabinet features a rectangular form with a recessed base. The overall aesthetic is distinctly Oriental, characterized by the black lacquer, gold trim, and the decorative hardware. Each cabinet is divided into an upper and lower section. The upper section contains two glass-fronted doors, revealing a display area with what appears to be a light-colored, possibly textured or patterned, back panel, which could be wallpaper or a fabric lining. The glass panels on the doors are framed by black lacquer with a raised gold trim that forms a decorative outline, possibly in a traditional 'ogee' or similar curvilinear shape. The lower section of each cabinet also features two smaller glass-fronted doors, echoing the design of the upper doors with gold trim. All doors are equipped with decorative brass or gold-toned hardware, specifically 'drop pull' handles with a backplate, which reinforce the Oriental style. No significant damage or repairs are immediately visible from the provided images, though minor wear consistent with age and use would be expected on such lacquered pieces. The items appear to be in good, presentable condition. The style suggests an estimated age from the mid to late 20th century, possibly contemporary interpretations of traditional Asian furniture design. The craftsmanship appears to be of decent quality, with clean lines and well-executed finishes, however, detailed inspection would be needed to assess joinery and material quality beyond surface appearance.
