Art Deco Oriental Carved Camphor Wood Chest
This Beautiful Carved Chest is made from Camphor Wood, for those of you who do not know camphor wood it is a hard wood which lends itself very well to carving.
However the main reason for using camphor wood is its fragrance, it smells a bit like Eucalyptus and this most attractive of smells repels moths hence its common use in the best quality Blanket Boxes
The chest is a classic Odeon shape at the top corners with carvings of Ships and City scenes, the chest is carved on both the top and the front, the handles are inset carved, it stands on bracket style feet and has a large brass clasp on the front, the interior is clean with a sliding tray
The Chest is 40” long x 22” high and 21” deep
