When our daughter Jae went to Shanghai, she made a point of grabbing photos of things that were meaningful to the family. This is a beautiful Chinese apothecary chest located in one of her professors' favorite restaurants.

While I have no credentials in antiques, a quick search on the internet demonstrates many examples similar to this that run into the high four figures in USD. Many sites indicate that furnishings like these were from the 19th century (exactly when Dr. Daniel Sterling began practicing medicine).

If you look carefully, you'll see that each door is marked with whatever should have been stored in the drawer. While translations are probably somewhat dicey (subject to interpretation!!), they include things like Ajiko wind, apricot, Australia leaf, big ginger skin, caodou bar (white grass knocking), dog electronics (!), fat, fire lice, gentian grass (cooked), gold, motherwort, pangolin yiban, pink bark, pool, red evil eye soho, smilax, talc, trichosanthes kudzu (snake gourd), ziziphus (jujube) kernel. There are also drawers for a child and older kids.

The top shelf shows a lovely range of treenware, which I also collect.
