This late 19th century tapered keepsake cabinet would have been kept in a woman's quarters, likely used as a jewelry box or cosmetics case. The carved door fronts are decorated with etched brass hardware in the shape of a butterfly, symbols of joy and longevity. The paneled sides are colored with red and black lacquer and accented by painted gilt trim.

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.”
