Pair of painted Tibetan bedside cabinets
This pair of Tibetan bedside cabinets is remarkable for the richness of its painted decoration and the intensity of its colours.
The fronts combine a deep red with a patinated green, heightened by gilded motifs that have come beautifully through time.
On each door unfolds a symbolic Tibetan motif, painted by hand, with powerful, almost mystical forms.
Older fittings and closing rings reinforce their authentic character.
Wear and variations in pigment give each cabinet a slightly different personality, while keeping a perfect overall harmony.
Inside, a shelf offers practical storage.
I am particularly fond of their presence: two small pieces that concentrate by themselves all the decorative force of Tibet.
Placed on either side of a bed, they immediately become the statement pieces of the bedroom.
A rare, vibrant pair full of character, selected for Galerie 55.
