Late 19th / Early 20th Century Thai Travel Trunk
Intricate and colorful village scenes - of royal celebrations market scenes, perhaps to imply this as a dowry trunk. Floral and woven edges and frames.
Octagonal shape with original paintings on each facet and the top, with a beautiful red wash interior.
Iron handles on each side and top center closure, with strong hinges on the top.
Sits on four pillars - each corner is slightly longer than the larger core. A nice construction touch.
Even patina and still very bright - top shows wear but all other panels are excellent.
Green, red, yellow, gold, black, blue...the full spectrum of color is represented here.
Large size - 28.75" wide by 19.75" deep by 21" tall.
Perfect side table / coffee table end of bed chest proportions
In keeping with Aesop's fable, Fox and Crow's Motto is "Beware of False Flattery!" So, with each listing we offer a true confession about the item...
This is a wonderful - and very unusual - period chest. The colors, the intricate details, the Thailand origin, the red interior, the incredible paintwork...it's a pop of color and craft that you might never see again!
