A clear coating of protective finish brings out a rich mahogany tone, wood grain, and nicely aged patina. Clean lines and square corners build accent a large circular shape of brass plate, a symbol of unity and eternity in Chinese culture. This type of cabinet was used to hold a bride's dowry such as clothes, comforters, and linens. The lower of this cabinet was a secret compartment covered by a board with a small handle. The board was removed to allow more storage space for modern life. This massive cabinet can be a stunning dry bar cabinet, entertainment center, or storage unit.
