Designed originally to house a flatscreen television, it features folding doors that conceal or reveal the interior with graceful ease—making it equally functional as a media cabinet, a statement storage piece.

The exterior is richly finished in Maitland‑Smith’s signature deep oxblood lacquer, hand‑decorated with traditional Chinese scenes rendered in gold, black, and soft tonal accents. Pagodas, figures, and landscape motifs wrap the cabinet in a narrative tableau, giving it the feel of a fine decorative panel rather than a utilitarian casework piece. It is labeled on the back, Maitland‑Smith.

Beautiful vintage condition with light, expected wear consistent with age. Lacquer remains rich and glossy; hand‑painted scenes show crisp detail. Minor surface marks typical of Maitland‑Smith lacquer pieces. The back is missing one brass plate where it is hung. There are also extra drilled holes for attaching to the wall. See less
