Description
DeepL TranslateTibet, circa 1900
These stunning cabinets were produced in Tibet around the beginning of the twentieth century. Like most Tibetan furniture, they are made from pine, beautifully painted in a typical palette of greens, yellows, blues and oranges. The colours would once have been brighter, but have now mellowed to softer, autumnal hues. Cabinets like these were often produced in pairs, and would have been used to store ceremonial robes, important scrolls and documents or even the yak butter that was used in lamps
