SEEMA Oriental Red Lacquer Sideboard c.1920
Description
The SEEMA oriental low lacquer sideboard, crafted c.1920, is a beautifully versatile antique piece that blends functionality with traditional Chinese craftsmanship. Its high-shine red lacquer finish creates a bold statement, while the clean lines and unadorned silhouette allow the lacquer’s depth and character to take centre stage. A richly distressed patina reveals its age and history, adding warmth and authenticity.
This antique Chinese sideboard features a central double cupboard and four large drawers, two on each side, offering practical and flexible storage. Its low profile makes it a versatile choice for the dining room, hallway, or living room, and it can also be used beneath a television as a unique media unit. The mix of closed storage and spacious drawers adds everyday functionality while maintaining its timeless appeal.
Red is a powerful symbol of luck and prosperity in Chinese furniture. Its rich tone brings vibrancy to interiors and pairs beautifully with soft neutrals like beige and grey, or with bold accents such as deep green, brass, or dark wood finishes for contrast.
A rare find, the SEEMA low lacquer sideboard is a functional antique with presence. Whether used to store, display, or anchor a space, it brings a sense of tradition and timeless sophistication to any interior.
