A HUANGHUALI CABINET WITH FOLDING GAMING BOARD(Kangxi period)

59.7×35.6×60.3 cm (23 1/2×14×23 3/4 in)

The interior is configured with a half-width closed compartment beside a matching open half-width shelf,both set just below the upper edge of the cabinet to form a very low slender shelf,divided from a pair of shorter half-width drawers placed side-by-side at the bottom by a larger full-width open compartment. The thinner upper shelf is fitted with an accompanying folding gaming board inlaid in silver-wire for weiqi and Chinese chess (xiangqi),with metal straps securing its corners. The interior configuration of the present cabinet is an unusual feature,and the retention of its accompanying folding gaming board,perfectly matching the dimensions of the upper shelf,is remarkable.
This cabinet is of similar size and proportions to larger traveling bookcases in this collection
