Hand-Painted Black and Gold Lacquer Trunk with Court Scene, Late Qing Dynasty
Located in Yonkers, NY
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.
