A striking vintage chinoiserie chest by Union National, showcasing a beautifully sculpted serpentine silhouette and richly detailed hand-applied decoration. Finished in deep black lacquer, the facade is adorned with delicate gilded scenes—figural vignettes, florals, and architectural motifs—evoking classic Eastern-inspired artistry reinterpreted through a refined mid-20th century lens.
The bombe form lends movement and elegance, while the original brass ring pulls provide a balanced contrast against the dark lacquered ground. A distinctive green inset top, framed with gold lattice detailing, adds an unexpected layer of sophistication and depth—subtle, but unforgettable.
Equally at home in a formal entry, bedroom, or as a statement accent in a living space, this piece captures the essence of Hollywood Regency glamour with timeless decorative appeal.
