About the Item
Perfectly proportioned for its petite size, this low elmwood chest is the ideal place to stow odds and ends. The charming cabinet has all the features of a traditional Chinese coffer - straight recessed legs, curving spandrels, and a floating-panel top that moves with the seasons. The small chest has a single shallow drawer secured with brass hardware. A layer of red-brown lacquer darkens the exterior, now beautifully faded with a smooth patina.
From the collection of Frances and Gary Comer.
