Chinese cabinet with butterflies

Where do you think this little chinoiserie gem is from?

Well, it’s not from a dealer of Chinese Antiques. Nor is it from a little Asian furniture boutique in San Francisco. Nor did I pick it up on some exotic travels. It’s from British department store, John Lewis, and it costs $211.

We used to buy our school uniforms from John Lewis! Now this chain of stores is known for great furnishings. But I really like the vintage look of this piece. It also comes in cream and red and a couple of different shapes and sizes. If only I still lived in London…
