Description
DeepL TranslateThese beautiful chests of drawers would originally have been used by a Chinese apothecary to store the various herbs, roots and other remedies used in Chinese medicine. They were produced in Shanxi province, made from elm wood, and are still in their original finish - a dark, rich brown that shows off the lovely grain and character of the wood perfectly. Each chest holds twenty small drawers, with each drawer divided internally into two sections. The front of each drawer is labelled with six characters to indicate the contents that would have been held inside each section.
