Vintage-Style Wooden Multi-Drawer Apothecary Chest

This item is a tabletop multi-drawer storage chest, commonly referred to as an apothecary or spice chest, measuring 26” x 14” x 11.5”. The piece is constructed primarily of wood and features 18 functional small drawers arranged in a 3x6 grid. The chest showcases a dual-tone aesthetic with a dark forest green or slate blue paint on the body and drawer fronts, contrasted by light-colored, natural wood or distressed cream-colored trim on the top overhang and base platform. Each drawer is fitted with a simple, round wooden knob pull in a matching light wood finish. The construction style suggests a rustic or farmhouse aesthetic, possibly a late 20th-century reproduction of an antique colonial-style apothecary. Notable features include a decorative beveled edge on the top and base, with small bracket-style feet providing a slight lift. Condition-wise, the piece shows intentional distressing along the edges to simulate age (shabby chic style), though there are visible scuffs and chips on the painted drawer fronts and edges, particularly on the lower left and right corners. The patina on the wooden knobs appears varied, suggesting frequent use. There are no immediately visible maker's marks or signatures in the provided image. The craftsmanship is utilitarian yet decorative, suitable for organizing small items such as jewelry, craft supplies, or spices.
