This Scholar-Scroll Cabinet was a distinctive piece of furniture used in scholars’ studies during the Ming–Qing dynasty. The lower section served as storage for books, scrolls, and paintings, while the open upper tier was designed to display treasured personal objects such as jade carvings, scholar’s stones, and snuff bottles. The upper doors feature finely open-carved lattice and scroll designs and are fitted with traditional wooden hinges, allowing them to be easily removed. Hand-crafted using classical joinery—wooden pegs and mortise-and-tenon construction—this cabinet exemplifies the refined craftsmanship of traditional Chinese furniture making. Dating to the early 19th century, it retains its original patina and wear. Made from the core of elm wood with beautifully figured grain, the cabinet remains remarkably solid and exceptionally well preserved.
