The Jade and Gold Cabinet Room
Published · Updated
Deep jade walls and fine golden shelving surround this richly decorated dining room. Blue-and-white porcelain jars and bowls sit in the narrow wall bays, their rounded shapes contrasting with the straight lines of the framework. Above the fireplace, two long-tailed gold birds face one another within a painted wreath of curling leaves. The ceiling repeats the room's green and gold palette through an irregular pattern of raised ribs and softly glowing opal lanterns.
A dark walnut dining table stands on a faded blue rug, surrounded by green leather chairs. A shallow porcelain bowl of pears adds a simple seasonal centrepiece. Through tall windows and open green shutters, a rainwashed harbour and distant hillside offer a cool contrast to the small fire. The polished floorboards carry gentle reflections, and the old metalwork has a mellow warmth. Together, the display shelves and carefully chosen furniture make the whole room feel like a cabinet of treasured objects. The photograph is free to reuse, including for commercial projects.
