Canonbury Antiques has dated this piece to the 18th Century.
Such a great decorative piece, the intricately carved chest looks great on the elegant stand with curved legs
Again, hopefully the photos illustrate the intricacy to the carving, so detailed and profuse
In the 18th and 19th century, chests made from naturally fragrant camphor wood were primarily used to transport tea, porcelain, and silks from China to Europe
Prior to their use in sea trade, camphor chests were used in Chinese households as storage units for objects such as blankets and linens.
A Chinese camphor chest is a wooden storage chest traditionally made from the fragrant wood of the camphor tree, prized for its natural insect-repellent properties
These chests are often intricately carved, featuring detailed scenes or patterns, and were historically used for storing linens, clothing, and valuables
