BLACK LACQUER EIGHTEEN DRAWERS MEDICINE CABINET

Historically used for keeping herbs and medicine and it are not solely found in medicine halls but also in private wealthy households. It is therefore a mark of prestige for famalies to own medical herbs for treatment of minor illness as well as to boost their health with tonics. The outstanding feature of this cabinet is that, despite a paramount display of drawers contrast and volume is achieved through the adroit juxtaposition of gold leaf painting around the brass pulls.
