About this seller
Private sellerProduct description
Beautiful, authentic Chinese blanket chest made of solid camphor wood. Purchased in China itself in 1981 and shipped to the Netherlands.
The chest features very detailed, hand-carved relief work all around (on all four sides and the top), depicting a traditional maritime scene of ships, waves, and fish. The chest stands on uniquely carved legs and is equipped with the original and beautiful engraved round brass lock on the front.
The back of the chest is carved just as beautifully as the front. The chest is therefore perfectly suitable for freestanding placement, for example as a unique coffee table or an eye-catcher in the interior.
The camphor wood still has a strong aromatic scent, and the interior is in exceptionally clean and tidy condition (see photos).
Furthermore, the original, authentic metal Chinese bar padlock is still present and lies loose inside the chest. Please note: the key has been lost over the years, so the lock is included purely for decoration. Dimensions:
Length: 71 cm
Width: 33 cm
Height: 37 cm
Condition:
The chest is in beautiful, authentic vintage condition with light, characteristic signs of use, but is really super neat.
