About the Item

Refined and visually striking, this large 19th-century jewelry chest showcases exceptional craftsmanship and timeless decorative appeal. The piece is crafted in deep black lacquer and adorned with delicate gilt-painted floral and avian motifs—graceful birds in flight, stylized foliage, and baskets of flowers—creating a poetic and harmonious composition characteristic of the period. The chest is further distinguished by its finely worked metal fittings, including sculpted hinges and an ornate lock plate that enhance its elegance while emphasizing the precious nature of the piece. Its functional layout—featuring a top compartment, two drawers, and a double-door cabinet—provides generous storage space, ideal for organizing jewelry, accessories, or personal treasures. With its architectural silhouette and sophisticated lacquer decoration, this chest serves not only as a practical storage piece but also as a striking decorative accent, perfect for a console, sideboard, or collector’s display. A charming and rare find that reflects the 19th-century fascination with Asian decorative arts. An ideal piece for collectors, interior designers, or anyone drawn to authentic and poetic objects.
