About the Item
A late Qing Dynasty hand-painted black lacquer trunk with gold-gilded decoration, this early 20th-century storage chest is a striking piece that blends function with artistry. The exterior features detailed chinoiserie motifs, depicting a courtly scene with finely robed figures set within an intricate landscape of pavilions, trees, and architectural elements. The rich black lacquered surface provides a dramatic contrast to the delicate gold detailing, emphasizing the depth and movement in the design.
Crafted from softwood, the trunk retains its original metal hardware, including side handles and a front latch. Inside, a compartmentalized storage space includes a small side box, once used for securing smaller valuables. Originally intended for general storage, it now serves as a versatile piece adaptable to modern interiors.
Placed in a living room as a coffee table, it offers both elegance and practicality, with ample space for stowing away throws or books. In an entryway or bedroom, it functions as a decorative trunk or blanket chest, effortlessly blending into classic, vintage, or eclectic spaces. Whether used for textile storage, a low-profile side table, or a distinctive conversation piece, this Chinese lacquer chest adds a refined, antique touch to any setting.
