Painted Sideboard From Qinghai Province - 19th Century Origin - Laos The right hand has beenThis sideboard is from Qinghai province in North Western China on the border with Mongolia & has original painting. The painting on this is incredibly detailed, and features two town scenes with trees as well as a collection of 'wise objects'.
