Featuring a detailed bas-relief scene of a man, woman, and their dog, this chest tells a story before you even open it. The hallmark of its quality lies in the precision: the intricate carved lines transition seamlessly from the lid down to the box, a sign of true artisan craftsmanship.

Finished with rubbed brass hinges and the rich, warm patina of solid teak, this piece is more than storage—it’s a work of art. Use it as a sanctuary for your most treasured photographs, a unique jewelry chest, or a statement piece on a console table or bookshelf.

Repair work has been done to one of the hinges. This is only noticeable from the interior. However, there is hinge instability.

I believe this is a Chinese camphor dowry chest.

Pro-styling tip: This artisan chest brings on the texture! In a smaller sitting group, use it as a low-profile coffee table paired with floor cushions or a low-slung lounge chair. Its hand-carved details create a stunning focal point when topped with a simple brass tray and a single architectural bloom.
