The top two drawers carry scrolling foliage and iron ring pulls. A wide middle drawer shows a long, curling vine, and three smaller drawers below it have shield-shaped panels. The sides flare outward in carved, scrolled brackets, and a shaped apron closes the base. The top is a framed plank with the soft shine of old wax.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt is compact, at 37 inches wide, 18 inches deep and 31.5 inches tall, and the drawers make it as useful as it is handsome. Use it as a dresser in a small bedroom, a chest in an entry, or a sideboard in a dining room. The scrolled sides catch the eye from an angle, so it works best where it can be seen as it is approached, and it looks well with plain walls and a single, simple object on top.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e Antique, late 19th to early 20th century\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e China\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wood, metal hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 37\"(W) x 18\"(D) x 31.5\"(H)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dark brown, waxed patina\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Used antique.

What is a wax patina on antique Chinese furniture?\u003cbr\u003eA wax patina is the soft, deep sheen that builds on old wood from wax finishes and years of handling. It darkens the color and softens the grain. It is usually valued as a sign of age, unlike a thick modern varnish.\u003cbr\u003e2. What were the small drawers in a Chinese chest used for?\u003cbr\u003eSmall drawers held items that needed sorting: seals, paper, tea, herbs, sewing and small household goods. A mix of wide and narrow drawers lets you separate things by size. Today they hold linens, cords, jewelry and stationery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e(Requires White Glove Delivery)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e**Please bear in mind that colors of products shown may vary slightly from their original color due to monitor display settings or photography studio\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DE-COR | Globally Inspired","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67855504474349,"sku":"IMG_9851","price":2645.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0288\/5256\/files\/IMG_9851_fd70f810-21de-483a-be0d-7fa680a933df.jpg?v=1792611574","url":"https:\/\/de-cor.com\/products\/antique-chinese-carved-six-drawer-dresser","provider":"DE-COR | Globally Inspired","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
