Made in northern China during the mid-19th century, this tall cabinet was likely part of wedding dowry, bestowed upon a groom filled with silks and gifts. Constructed with mortise and tenon joinery, the elmwood square-corner cabinet embodies the clean lines and refined form of traditional Ming dynasty carpentry. The cabinet's rich red and black lacquered finish captures the light beautifully, gently contrasted by softly burnished brass hardware.

“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.”
