Modern Chinoiserie Style Tall Narrow Cabinet

This is a tall, slender freestanding cabinet designed in a modern Chinoiserie or Asian-inspired style. The piece features a light cream or off-white painted finish with intentional distressing and a subtle patina, suggesting it is a contemporary revival rather than an antique. Its most prominent feature is the large, circular dark metal lock plate (baotong) centered on the two main cabinet doors, which secures with a traditional-style pin. Below the main double-door compartment resides a single horizontal drawer with a matching dark metal pull. The cabinet is constructed with clean lines, featuring slightly rounded edges and straight legs that elevate the body off the floor, typical of Ming-style furniture silhouettes. The overall height appears to be roughly 72-78 inches. Condition appears good with minor surface scuffs consistent with typical residential use. The finish shows a faux-aged texture, particularly around the recessed panels of the doors. While the craftsmanship appears solid, it lacks the complex joinery of authentic antique Chinese furniture, indicating a mass-market reproduction suitable for decorative home storage.
