This vintage lacquered storage chest was crafted in the mid-19th century to a streamlined shape that follows traditional Chinese cabinetry designs. This type of tapered cabinet is known as a "miantiao gui," or noodle cabinet, named for the rounded, noodle-like molding of the legs and frame.
The simple form is crafted of northern elm (yumu) with a darkly lacquered finish, decorated only by the texture of the wood grain and the original full moon brass lock plate. The double-door front opens to a single interior shelf and two small drawers. Modified to a shallow depth for modern use, the noodle cabinet is an elevated way to store linens, books, or household clutter.
