The present cabinet with its clean and simple lines, and a single piece of huanghuali wood as the top panel, represents one of the most popular and successful designs in classical Chinese furniture construction, and was widely admired throughout the Ming and Qing dynasties.
Compare with a similar small huanghuali round-corner tapered cabinet, Ming dynasty, illustrated by G.Wu Bruce, Two Decades of Ming Furniture, Beijing, 2010, p.220.
櫃頂黃花梨攢邊打槽裝板，柜身圓材，門框黃花梨，門邊上下出頭門軸納入臼窩，兩門之間立閂桿，柜內分三曾，門板則為獨板黃花梨，立墻及兩側板材為硬木，底棖三面嵌牙條，柜內壁掛麻灰黑漆，漆面發斷紋，櫃門及閂桿安銅活。
此柜高三尺，為小型圓角櫃，北方擺於炕上，又稱炕柜，南方則多置地上，櫃頂可放陳設器物，故柜帽頂部裝黃花梨板平鑲，是比較考究的造法。參看一件明代黃花梨小木軸門櫃，著錄於伍嘉恩，《明式家具經眼祿》，北京2010年，頁220.
