A wonderfully decorative pair of early 20th‑century Chinese apothecary chests, each retaining its full grid of small drawers with original circular hand‑painted labels and metal ring pulls. The deep, time‑worn lacquered finish has developed a rich reddish‑brown patina, and every drawer carries its own calligraphic label. They are in excellent antique condition, with only the light, honest imperfections expected from age and use. Traditionally used for storing herbs and medicinal ingredients, these cabinets now make exceptionally charming and practical bedside tables — or striking accent pieces anywhere that would benefit from a touch of Eastern craftsmanship. These will bring an immediate sense of history to any interior.

Condition & Description: At Sinclair’s Antiques and Interiors, we take great care to describe and photograph each item thoroughly, highlighting any notable imperfections such as shrinkage splits, veneer losses or lifts, repairs, or surface marks.

We therefore encourage you to visit our warehouse or request additional images if you’d like further reassurance.
