Medicine Man

This 19th-century Chinese Apothecary cabinet made of elmwood finished with dark red lacquer is a fine version of the square corner cabinet referred to as yaochu (medicine or hundred-eye cabinet). Ancient Chinese doctors used to label each of the multiple pull-out drawers where they would store a wide range of herbs and medicines. Today, this piece not only makes a decorative accent but is also functional, and convenient for storing small collectibles.
