Six Drawer Six Door Coffer

This provincial coffer from northern China has a simple, clean-lined form. The coffer dates to the early 19th century and is expertly crafted of walnut using traditional mortise-and-tenon joinery methods. The square-corner cabinet features six shallow drawers and three sets of doors that open to a large interior fitted with a single shelf. The doors are accented by striking full moon brass lock plates secured with simple dagger posts. Ideal as a sideboard or credenza, this cabinet enriches modern interiors with minimalist design and gorgeous materials.
