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.

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.”
