Baker Furniture George III Oriental Lacquer Cabinet - ON HOLD

Simply stunning, ornate, lacquer cabinet by Baker Furniture.  It features two panelled black lacquer doors and sides elaborately decorated in a raised gilt and ochre landscape design.  It has finely cast brass mounts and hinges finished in dark antique bronze.  When opened, it exposes a black lacquer interior beautifully hand-painted in a similar manner and fitted with one shallow long drawer and above it a shelf/surface that pulls out to provide a bar surface or desk (although given the height it appears it was intended to be used as a bar).  The back wall of the interior is mirrored and has two adjustable glass shelves.  The interior is also lit.  The chest rests on a Chinese Chippendale square chamfered legs that feature pierced fretwork angle brackets where the legs meet the cabinet.  A version of this cabinet is still available today (at a cost of approximately $50,000) but this is one of the early releases (early 1980's).  The new version of this cabinet has a different interior
