A rolled-up scroll or treasured root pot may have once been among the erudite objects stored in this stately book chest. Emphasizing the beauty of northern elmwood (yumu), the expertly constructed cabinet is minimally decorated save for the soft glimmer of its moon plate hinges, dagger-post lock, and discreetly carved base. Over one hundred years old, the bookcase still reveals traces of its original black lacquer finish. We like it bedside or next to a high-arm sofa, filled with a collection of contemporary art books or antique tomes.

What They're Saying

Andrea Goldman | Andrea Goldman Design

“Over the years, I’ve incorporated many pieces from PAGODA RED into my designs. Not only can they balance new furnishings (and often new construction) by feeling more established, but the pieces emanate a sense of rich history, often leaving you wondering where they were in a previous life. These beautiful pieces carefully hand-selected by the team at PAGODA RED, coupled with their unbelievable customer service, make them a must-have for any home.”
