Vintage Chinese Apothecary Pagoda Cabinet - 45 Drawers This striking Chinese apothecary chest is a beautiful marriage of traditional Eastern utility and decorative artistry. Featuring solid Elm construction, the piece showcases the dramatic, flowing "mountain" grain of high-density Yumu, finished in a lustrous hand-rubbed honey-red stain. The cabinet is defined by its articulated pagoda silhouette, featuring flared "swallowtail" ends accented by etched brass corner protectors. It contains 42 small herb drawers and 3 larger bottom drawers, each featuring deep-etched calligraphy hand-carved into the faces to identify traditional medicinal remedies. Every drawer is fitted with original "baitong" style hardware, including circular brass ring pulls that provide a tactile, metallic contrast to the rich wood tones. A central double-door compartment with a decorative brass latch offers additional specialized storage. Dimensions Width: 28.25 inches Height: 33.25 inches Depth: 11 inches Condition Museum-Quality Preservation.
