Medicine Cabinet
Joseon dynasty, 19th Century
Height 97.7cm / Width 87.0cm / Depth 42.2cm
 
This cabinet was used to store different kinds of oriental medicines. The number of drawers depends on how many different kinds of materials will be stored, so it requires just as many small drawers. And all of those small drawers are arrayed in simple, repetitive patterns, giving it a unique look. This medicine cabinet is for home use, with a medium number of drawers. To establish a balance between the top and bottom loads, the tips of legs are rather small.
