Except for three eight view album page drawers, the other drawers are filled with various antiques. In the limited space of small drawers, in addition to the crisscross use of upper and lower drawers, there are also side hidden drawers, and even small lattices that can be lifted out of the whole box and opened on all sides. The space is lively, and the internal antiques are matched with wooden seats of different shapes. In addition, in order to make the antique safe in the drawer, the moon white silk brocade pad is used to make the protective pad of the drawer with the cultural relics exposed. In addition to the fine workmanship and ingenious assembly of the cabinet, it also provides the best example of cultural relics protection during the Qianlong period.
