This vintage Chinese storage trunk, likely dating to the mid-20th century, is a beautiful example of traditional narrative carving. The front and top are adorned with hand-carved relief panels depicting intricate landscapes and figural scenes, framed within medallions that give the piece a sense of timeless artistry. The whitewash wood finish highlights the depth of the carving and the quality of the wood grain, while a simple brass latch provides an elegant accent.

Originally designed as a blanket or dowry chest, its low, substantial form makes it perfectly suited for use in a modern home as a striking coffee table, an accent bench at the foot of a bed, or a unique storage chest in an entryway.
