Crafted of fine rosewood, this early 20th-century scholars' chest is an example of the multi-functional boxes used tabletop in lieu of a chest of drawers. While some were used to store cosmetics, jewelry, documents, and other accessories, the small scale and narrow drawers of this box suggest it was used to store incense. The fine box likely belonged in a scholars' studio, displaying precious objects such as censers, vases, or scholars' stones behind the subtly carved railing. Showcasing the rich color and fine grain of prized rosewood, this tabletop chest is perfect as a jewelry box or a display stand for decorative objects.

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.”
