Description
Furniture from the Ming dynasty (1368-1644) is characterized by its reserved and sparse design. Pieces from this dynasty found beauty in functionality, not extravagance. Simple and minimalistic, this Ming cabinet internalizes the core philosophy of that revered age of furniture. A long and prosperous life is considered one of the highest regarded goals of humanity. The longevity symbol is designed after the Chinese lingual character "shou" and closely associated with the God, Shou, who was renown as the controller of human destiny. The Chinese believed that embellishing objects with the divine symbol would imbue positive energy to prolong their lives. For these reasons, the longevity symbol has become one of the most profound and prolific symbols in Chinese art, decor, and furnishing. The longevity symbol is are represented on the front doors. This piece is versatile: perfect as a cabinet in the living room, dining room, or bedroom. This cabinet is enhanced by adhering to the traditional principles of Chinese joinery techniques. (Inactive)
Care
All finishes (including wax and varnish) offer some level of water resistance, but the painted furniture will not be waterproof. With this in mind, we recommend ordering a custom glass top from your local glass shop. Alternatively, implement the use of coasters under glasses and clean any spills as soon as possible.Waxes and varnishes will dissolve in alcohol, so in particular avoid any alcohol spills and avoid using cleaning products which contain alcohol. Please bear in mind that certain liquids, especially those with strong staining capabilities, will stain and leave a permanent mark.The piece should be kept away from heating vents and other heat sources in order to avoid dryness. Depending on location, it is recommended to mitigate dryness with a humidifier. Doing so will prevent solid wood from cracking. Avoiding prolonged direct exposure to sunlight will help maintain the color of the piece.Regular dusting with a slightly damp microfiber cloth will help keep the furniture clean. Make sure the cloth is clean before using, as foreign particles may cause scratching on the surface. It is also recommended to use the microfiber cloth to avoid scratching of the surface and to buff out smears and smudges. If using a damp cloth, always make sure to remove any excess water left behind, as this can damage the finish. For tough grime or grease, a small amount of mild soap may be used. Do not use any liquid furniture polishes as they may contain dimethicone (a silicone which can cause cracks to appear in the paint).
