Perfecting line and proportion, the simple design of this small locking chest celebrates the restraint of classic Chinese furniture forms. Crafted of elm (yumu) using mortise-and-tenon joinery, the square-corner cabinet is configured with two small doors that reveal an open interior and a hidden lower compartment. The chest is minimally decorated save for its black lacquer finish and the soft glimmer of its brass hinges and dagger-post lock. Dated to the 19th century, the locking chest is ideal today as a nightstand or side table, filled with a collection of contemporary art books or antique tomes.

Additional Dimensions:
Opening: 17.75"W x 18.5"D x 13.75"H
Hidden Compartment: 3.5"H

Elizabeth Krueger | Elizabeth Krueger Design

“PAGODA RED was extremely supportive in helping to pull accessory options together for the Lake Forest Showhouse. After providing them with details and our vision on how we were looking to finish our space, Laurene helped curate options that made it easy for us to edit and finalize. It's also no surprise that the unique pieces we used in our showhouse space were some of the first to sell.”
