The case is constructed in elmwood (榆木, yú mù), finished overall in deep ox-blood lacquer with characteristic age-crackle and wear to the surface. Drawer bodies are plain-sawn softwood with forged iron ring pulls throughout; construction is mortise-and-tenon throughout, with the frame-and-panel side panels showing clean, flat-sawn grain. The large-format drawer at the base bears carved Chinese characters across the apron. Original paper labels remain largely intact, with calligraphic script identifying ingredients including 白菊花, 生薏仁, 冬瓜子, 廣木香, and others — a rare survival that documents the cabinet's active pharmacy use.\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Expected wear consistent with 19th-century working provenance — lacquer loss, surface scratches, and minor cracking to several drawer sides (visible in photos); structurally sound. All drawers operate. Labels intact with some loss and lifting at edges.\u003cbr\u003eA rare and complete example of Chinese pharmacy furniture with fully documented original labels — ready to install as a statement piece or working storage cabinet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease contact us about White Glove delivery to get a quote for shipping. $750 to $1200 depending on zip code. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shogun's Gallery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51527337247037,"sku":"26C*HK01","price":3500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0684\/2348\/3709\/files\/3A44BE85-E93D-4B3C-A014-D977D0F6C6CA.jpg?v=1774574715","url":"https:\/\/shogunsgallery.com\/products\/antique-chinese-qing-dynasty-59-drawer-apothecary-chest-herb-cabinet-58h","provider":"Shogun's Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
