Painted Gansu Sideboard with Curio Paintings Console When it was first madeGansu, circa 1900 Crafted in Gansu, China, this large, tall sideboard is of a type traditionally used for storing rice or grain.

On each door are the original paintings set against sepia tones depicting various flower vases, bronzes and other curios.
