About the Item

A Chinese square apothecary-style chest of drawers, likely from the early to mid-20th century, featuring nine small drawers and brass hardware. Crafted from richly toned wood, the chest presents a nearly square top with softly rounded edges and a central floating panel construction, all resting above a symmetrical façade evocative of traditional Chinese apothecary cabinetry. Arranged in a three-by-three grid, the nine drawers are each fitted with brass rosette backplates and traditional ring pulls. The sides are composed of recessed panels, while the back is finished in a darker tone. The chest is elevated on four short cylindrical legs, and the warm brown lacquer finish brings out the natural grain and texture of the wood. Compact in scale yet full of character, this piece offers charming storage for a bedroom, entryway, or living room. Its balanced proportions and timeless design make it versatile as a bedside table, end chest, or decorative accent. While stylistically traditional, the clean lines and functionality make it a practical choice in both classic and modern interiors.
