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

Andrea Goldman | Andrea Goldman Design

“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.”
