Circa 1880, Chinese carved wood open cabinet/whatnot with enclosed cupboards below. The cabinet has an unusual feature of a three quarter wrap around gallery on the top which encloses the front and sides, in the form of faux bamboo with carved flowers in the centre. Beneath this is a small cornice with carved leaf decoration. On both sides are large open fretwork panels, Rococo in style and varying in size and pattern. The back of the cabinet has faux bamboo quarter brackets and these are mirrored on the front at the top. There is an unusual formation of 6 shelves at different heights, all with three quarter wrap around galleries with floral decoration and the edging is again the form of bamboo. At the bottom on the left hand side is a cupboard door with several beadings all in the form of bamboo, a carved panel on the door and a cast brass handle. On the opposite side is a small drawer again with a cast brass handle and a foliate carving on the front. The bottom has a wonderful carved apron with open fretwork, and the whole piece stands on classic Chinese ball and claw feet. Wonderful original patination, excellent condition. Very good example of this type of furniture.

Georgian Antiques was founded in 1978 by John Dixon's brother Padriac in a small shop at Jocks Lodge, Meadowbank in Edinburgh, with John joining the business after finishing college in 1981. The business grew so rapidly, they couldn't keep up with their inventory needs. Their goal has been to create a one-stop-shop where designers can complete an entire project from antique lighting to antique furniture to accessories. Scotland's largest antiques warehouse is located in a converted whiskey bond in historic Leith Edinburgh. With 50,000sq ft over five floors we offer a wide range of quality Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian furniture, as well as continental and small decorative items. Our stock is constantly changing.
