About the Item
A handsome Chinese elmwood coffer, finished in a rich lacquered blue with time-softened edges that reveal layers of age beneath the surface. The long rectangular form offers excellent storage and display versatility, with five upper drawers for smaller items and spacious compartment doors below for larger pieces. Original metal pulls add understated authenticity and balance to the clean architectural lines.
Elmwood, valued in Chinese furniture for its resilience and graceful grain, lends warmth and natural depth to this substantial piece. Ideal as a sideboard, media console, dining server, or entry statement, the coffer brings both function and character to contemporary or traditional interiors.
