About the Item

Perfecting line and proportion, the simple design of this low locking chest celebrates the restraint of classic Chinese furniture forms. Crafted from reclaimed elmwood, the cabinet is modeled after those used for general storage in a Qing-dynasty home. The cabinet is minimally decorated save for its dark, espresso-brown finish and the soft glimmer of its brass dagger-post lock. We love this chest placed bedside or next to a sofa, filled with a collection of contemporary art books or antique tomes.
