A spectacular camphor wood Chinese Export trunk on custom iron stand, made circa 1840.

Beautiful flowers grace the well-worn leather, hand-painted by an artisan long gone. The chest has a functioning lock and key. Brass handles can be found on each side of the trunk for easy transport. All the wonders of age combine and are visibly expressed in the patina and antiquated splendor that makes this fine Asian piece.
