Constructed from northern Chinese elm (\u003cem\u003eyumu\u003c\/em\u003e 榆木), it shows a timeworn surface with traces of its original burgundy lacquer, now mellowed into a warm patina that highlights the grain of the wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCoffer tables were multifunctional pieces in Chinese households, serving both as storage chests and as tables. The five drawers on this example make it especially practical, the original brass locking plate is still visible with a subtle verdigris. Today, it would work beautifully as a console or side table, offering both utility and historic character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSee \u003cem\u003eTraditional Chinese Furniture From The Greater Shanxi Region (C.L.
