A slightly smaller version of traditional tall cabinets, this red lacquer chest honors the clean lines and balanced proportions of classic Chinese furniture design. Originally used for books, scrolls, and general storage, the chest is crafted in the style of sloping-stile cabinets, with a slight A-frame silhouette and an overhung top. The double doors open to a black lacquer interior with two shelves and two shallow drawers. Free of decoration, the cabinet is finished with bright, cinnabar-red lacquer and a large full moon brass lock plate with drop pulls.

What They're Saying

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.”
