This Chinese export blanket box from the 1920 period is fashioned from camphor wood with a warm brown finish. The chest displays detailed relief carvings depicting figures, ships, temples, and fierce dragons across its surfaces, alongside an oval medallion, a brass latch, carved hand grips, and bracket feet. The wooden storage trunk measures 59 cm high, 104 cm wide, and 51 cm deep. Practical for everyday use, the chest provides concealed storage for extra blankets and pillows at the foot of a bed. Alternatively, the detailed carving and warm timber tones suit placement in a main reception room where it doubles as a coffee table.

FAQs

Originating in China, these chests were crafted from fragrant camphor wood primarily used to store blankets, linens, and silks, as the woods natural oils repel moths and insects during travel and storage.

These trunks are constructed from solid camphor timber, often adorned with relief hand-carvings depicting traditional landscapes or dragons, and secured with decorative brass latch plates.

Authentic examples feature aromatic timber, traditional joinery techniques, intricate relief hand-carvings on the exterior panels, and solid brass hardware fittings.

Position the box at the foot of a bed or use it as a low occasional surface in a living area to add warmth, tactile relief detail, and rich timber tones.

Dust regularly with a dry, soft microfibre cloth and nourish the wood with natural beeswax polish, keeping the piece away from direct heat sources to prevent timber shrinkage.
