Details
This is a small book chest. While the frame is made of pear, the front doors are made of zelkova, which gives a textural variety. The borders and pillars made of pear reinforce the stable appearance. This small book chest is thought to have been used to store books that needed to be close at hand in a study. The daffodil-shaped nickel ornaments and simple hinges imply that the book chest was made in the late 19th or early 20th century.
