This unusually configured apothecary chest was originally used during the 19th century in a traditional Northern Chinese pharmacy to organize & store medicinal herbs. It was constructed with traditional mortise and tenon joinery and each of its 30 drawers is beautifully dovetailed and painted with Chinese calligraphy denoting the specific type of herbal medicine it once contained.

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.”
