This 19th-century storage chest balances a streamlined silhouette with vibrant color and wabi-sabi textures. Originally configured to open from the top, the cabinet's paneled front has been modified into nine shallow drawers, each with a simple brass teardrop pull. The exterior has been brushed with a sheer layer of red-orange lacquer atop a heavily worn finish for renewed vibrancy and a richly textured surface. The lacquer's warm red color and cloudy opacity reminds us of red coral or carnelian stone, two fine materials known for their beauty and protective qualities.

Available to ship March 26, 2025. Currently on display in the Chicago Botanic Garden Orchid Show: India Blooms.

What They're Saying

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.”
