Small cabinets of this size and quality are rare. As tables seldom had drawers, cabinets such as these served to house both useful objects and 'scholar's playthings'. See a pair of cabinets in the Hung collection, composed of huanghuali with burl panels published in Ellsworth et. al., op.cit., volume 1 sold at Sotheby's, 14 September 2016, lot 358, and a cabinet sold at Christie's New York, 20 March 2013, lot 921, provenance M. Flacks.
