China. Of rectangular form, topped by a humpback handle, each corner fitted with a brass edge, the removable door with a huanghuali frame finely paired with an attractively figured huamu (burlwood) panel showing a beautiful grain.

A copy of a Certificate of Antiquity from Tomlinson Antique House, including an old photograph of the present lot, dating it to the Qing dynasty, and confirming the wood to be huanghuali, accompanies this lot. Tomlinson Antique House was established 1976 in Singapore and specializes in antique Chinese furniture and Asian antiquities.

Weight: 4,679 g
Dimensions: Size 31.2 x 26.7 x 19.7 cm

Constructed from highly-figured huanghuali wood, the present lot is a rare example of a medicine chest, Yaoxiang. The term refers to small boxes with no opening at the top. While such boxes may have been intended to store precious herbs, medicines and medical instruments, they were equally suitable as tabletop chests for storing small items, from documents to writing materials and small seals.

The present example features a front panel
that can be removed to permit access to the eight drawers. The door is held in place by tongue-and-grove at the bottom and a brass lock above. According to 'Random Notes on Times of Leisure' Xian qing ou ji by Li Yu (1610-1680) (a Ming dynasty intellectual and playwright), multi-drawer cabinets were designed for scholars after the design of a pharmacist's 'hundred-eye cabinet'.

Literature comparison:
Compare a related huanghuali medicine cabinet, 17th century, illustrated by Wang Shixiang, Connoisseurship of Chinese Furniture Ming and Early Qing Dynasties, Hong Kong, 1990, vol. 2, pl. E21. For a discussion about the use of these chests see G. Wu Bruce, 'Small Portable Treasures', Journal of the Classical Chinese Furniture Society, Autumn 1993, pp. 60-62.
