This late 19th century tapered keepsake cabinet would have been kept in a woman's quarters, likely used as a jewelry box or cosmetics case. The carved door fronts are decorated with etched brass hardware in the shape of a butterfly, symbols of joy and longevity. The paneled sides are colored with red and black lacquer and accented by painted gilt trim.
