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

“Over the years, I’ve incorporated many pieces from PAGODA RED into my designs. Not only can they balance new furnishings (and often new construction) by feeling more established, but the pieces emanate a sense of rich history, often leaving you wondering where they were in a previous life. These beautiful pieces carefully hand-selected by the team at PAGODA RED, coupled with their unbelievable customer service, make them a must-have for any home.”
