We still see traces of the finely painted floral vases and eight treasures of the scholar that originally decorated this 19th century black lacquer wucai, or "five-color" square corner cabinet. The motifs symbolize the celebration of knowledge, learning and success. The flush panel doors were designed with extended dowels at the top and bottom that ingeniously fit into the upper and lower frames, freeing the cabinet of the need for surface-mounted hinges that would distract from the beautifully rendered paintings.

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.”
