This vintage Chinese carved camphor wood chest is richly decorated with detailed figural and landscape motifs across the top and front panels. The carving depicts scenes of people among trees and architectural elements, framed with traditional geometric borders that give the chest both artistic flair and cultural resonance. The lid is further adorned with symbolic medallions, showcasing the artisan’s skill in deep relief carving.
Constructed of camphor wood, the chest retains its natural warm tone and aromatic qualities, making it not only visually striking but also practical for long-term storage. It features a brass hasp lock plate at the front, complemented by its stepped bracket feet which add a sense of stability and proportion.
Condition is consistent with age and use. The chest shows some surface wear and minor losses to the carving, but overall remains sturdy and handsome. It would make an excellent blanket chest, coffee table, or decorative storage piece in a wide range of interiors. 14h x 28w x 14d
