This 19th-century coffer beautifully represents the household storage cabinets made in Tianjin, a port city in Northern China. Typical of much Qing-dynasty furniture, the sideboard is perfectly balanced, its clean lines perfected accented by the original brass hardware. The chest's lacquer finish has developed wonderful character over time, showing years of use by the family who very well may have received it as part of a woman's dowry.

Elizabeth Krueger | Elizabeth Krueger Design

“PAGODA RED was extremely supportive in helping to pull accessory options together for the Lake Forest Showhouse. After providing them with details and our vision on how we were looking to finish our space, Laurene helped curate options that made it easy for us to edit and finalize. It's also no surprise that the unique pieces we used in our showhouse space were some of the first to sell.”
