Tall Antique Chinese Lattice Noodle Cabinet

A stunning example of Chinese vernacular furniture, this tall antique cabinet was originally a kitchen cupboard, often affectionately called a “Noodle Cabinet”. The upper doors feature a distinct vertical bar lattice, a functional design element engineered to allow air to circulate around stored grains and prepared foods while keeping pests out. Crafted from solid Northern Elm it features “round-leg” construction—a hallmark of Ming-style joinery. The lower solid panels provided darker, cooler storage for jars and heavy stoneware. 
This antique cabinet is a storage powerhouse that solves major organizational problems. It is the ultimate modern pantry; the deep shelves can easily swallow small appliances and oversized serving platters that don’t fit in standard kitchen uppers. In a bedroom or hallway, it serves as a breathable linen closet—the lattice work is perfect for keeping down comforters, wool blankets, and towels fresh and aired out.
