Five Drawer Two Door Coffer

The configuration of this 19th century elmwood coffer is typical of low cabinets from Tianjin, a port city in Northern China. Cabinets like this one provided general household storage. It has a strong presence, and maintains its original hand made brass hardware which, from that area, was often designed in square shapes and with back plates behind drawer pulls. The original lacquer finish has aged beautifully over the last century.
