Just like contemporary flat-file storage, this tall camphor chest once provided a Qing-dynasty official or businessman with ample storage to organize flat documents and important papers. Dated to the late 19th century, the upright cabinet has nine drawers stacked within a square frame, topped by a low railing for additional storage up top. Exhibiting the beautiful grain and warm coloring of camphor (changmu), this document cabinet makes for a handsome storage solution in a home office or art studio.

Drawers: 15"W x 13.5"D x 3.75"H

What They're Saying

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.”
