Chinese Wooden Tea Display Shelf and (8) Tea Kettles. Chinese stepped display cabinet for tea kettles and cups, with pull-out drawers for additional accoutrements. Lot includes display stand and earthenware kettles.

Multi-tiered Chinese display cabinets designed for holding tea kettles and related wares are elegant pieces of functional furniture that reflect the cultural importance of tea in daily life and social rituals. Often crafted from rich hardwoods like rosewood or elm, these cabinets feature open shelving, carved details, and sometimes inset panels or latticework, creating a visually pleasing yet practical way to store and showcase teapots, cups, and tea accessories. Their tiered design not only organizes tea tools by size or use but also honors the artistry of each piece, turning a simple tea setup into a curated display. These cabinets embody the harmony between utility and aesthetics that is central to traditional Chinese interior design, especially in scholar's studios or tea rooms where mindfulness and presentation are key.

Size: 17 1/2 x 8 x 26 1/2 in.
