Antique Powder Blue Teak Apothecary Chest of 54 Drawers – Gujarat Hardware Store Cabinet

A rare and impressive Antique Powder Blue Teak Apothecary Chest of 54 Drawers, dating from the late nineteenth to early twentieth century. This statement piece, personally sourced by a member of the Jardinopia team in Gujarat, India, features a beautifully distressed powder blue painted finish with original shell-cup iron handles and hand-painted Gujarati script on each drawer front. The solid teak wood construction ensures durability, while the gentle patina and authentic wear tell the story of decades of use in an old Indian hardware store, where it once stored receipts and invoices.

With 54 equal-sized drawers, all in fine working order, this apothecary cabinet offers exceptional versatility for modern interiors. Use it in a retail space, study, kitchen, craft room, or as a stunning statement piece in any living area. The original drawer linings and handles remain intact, and the chest is in excellent original condition with only minor blemishes and age-related marks, as expected for a true antique.
