Ming Two Drawer Chest, Warm Elm w95 These lovely little decorative boxesThis little warm elm bedside chest is our own design rather than a reproduction of an old Chinese piece, but the construction and overall look are in keeping with furniture from the Ming dynasty. The two drawers are dovetail jointed and mounted on wooden runners, with the round backed brass handles adding oriental style. Use a pair either side of a bed or place one next to a sofa as a lamp table. NB. Interior scenes were created using AI generated
