Handcrafted from solid northern elmwood , the cabinet's luminous red lacquer surface has developed a beautifully aged patina, reflecting generations of use while preserving its original character.

The piece features traditional recessed panel doors, double drawers, and “horse hoof” legs, characteristics of Qing-era joinery. The aged brass hardware remains intact and functional, complementing the cabinet’s warm, timeworn glow.
