EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite Queen Anne Red Lacquer Cabinet, currently housed in the esteemed Anthony Horderns Fine Art Gallery, is a rare and significant addition to Australian cultural heritage. Dating back to circa 1715, during the reign of Queen Anne, this magnificent piece showcases intricate Chinese-inspired relief decoration, with its deep red lacquer finish adding an alluring richness to its elegant form. The interior of the cabinet is equally impressive, fitted with meticulously crafted drawers and shaped shelves, designed to accommodate and protect valuable items with the utmost care. The fusion of Western and Eastern design elements in this cabinet is a testament to the global cultural exchange that characterized the 18th century. Despite its impressive provenance, this Queen Anne Red Lacquer Cabinet is a rarity in Australia. Few examples of furniture decoration from this period survive, making this piece of great importance in the eyes of collectors and connoisseurs. Its journey to Australia remains a mystery, but its presence in the Anthony Horderns Fine Art Gallery is a testament to the gallery's commitment to preserving and showcasing significant works of art and historical objects. The intricate details of the cabinet's decoration, the deep red lacquer finish, and the carefully crafted interior are a feast for the eyes, transporting us back in time to an era of opulence and refinement. This remarkable piece is not only a beautiful addition to the gallery's collection but also a reminder of the rich cultural history that has shaped our world.
