This handcrafted chest of drawers, with its unique marriage of aesthetics and functionality, will lend any room a sense of Eastern mystique. Master carpenters in China's southern Guangdong Province build each chest by hand, constructing a solid wooden frame and sheathing the entire piece in a tightly stretched thin layer of red leather. A hand-applique technique is used to adorn the exterior with detailed characters in vivacious green, gold and red tones. The upper half of this masterpiece holds a series of smaller drawers with brass hoop pulls, perfect for storing silverware, napkins and other dining room necessities or great for elegant storage of office supplies. The bottom half features large double doors that swing open to reveal additional storage space for table cloths and placemats, dishes and glasses, or stationery and supplies. On the front, the Mandarin characters are a poem that incants the power of various traditional medicines, while decorative, round brass hinges and semicircular brass pulls provide gleaming details to complete this beautiful piece. With its pagoda-style raised sides and traditional Oriental motifs, this cabinet is sure to become a treasured family heirloom. Measures approximately 39 inches high x 32 inches wide x 12 inches long.
