This richly detailed Chinoiserie-style trunk chest, attributed to Maitland-Smith, showcases the refined craftsmanship and decorative sensibility associated with late 20th-century luxury furnishings. Crafted in China, the piece features a woven red bamboo exterior framed with dark bamboo trim and accented by brass corner hardware and an ornate brass pull.
The front is decorated with two black lacquer panels delicately embellished with gilt Asian-inspired scenes, while the top retains its original dark lacquered finish with subtle hand-painted detailing. The combination of textures, patina, and materials gives the piece a warm, collected character that works beautifully in both traditional and eclectic interiors.
While the original maker’s label is no longer present, the construction, materials, and overall design are strongly reminiscent of Maitland-Smith pieces from the 1970s and 1980s.
Versatile in scale and function, this piece can serve as a decorative storage chest, coffee table trunk, or distinctive accent in a layered interior.

Small scuffs and aged appearance. One of the corner brass plates is missing a piece (see photos). In my opinion, the condition is 8.5 out of 10.

The remaining photographs provide the most accurate representation of the piece’s condition, finish, and overall character. less
