The warm tones and active grain of natural elmwood are the focus of this unusually articulated six-door coffer. Made for a provincial home in northern China in the late 19th century, the chest is devoid of any excess decoration or metal hardware, emphasizing instead its strong structural thrust in clear-lacquered wood. Punctuated by a row of doors secured by stepped bolt closures, the chest stresses the horizontal with its overhanging table top, extended apron, and low-lying stretcher bars. We love its emphasis on natural wood and the depth of character earned through decades of use.

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.”
