Description

A fine quality early 20th century freestanding Chinese oriental antique camphor wood chest with cherry blossom carving to the borders and ebonised edge. The inlaid coloured soapstone has been beautifully hand carved in relief and engraved to create scenes of male scholars with female figures in traditional dress with cherry blossom trees.

The chest stands on carved foo dog cabriole feet and retains its original embossed brass back plate and latch and it comes with a working lock and key. Inside, the chest has a lovely camphor wood aroma. This piece is great for storage but would also make a fantastic coffee table with a glass top fitted.

Height - 62 cm (24 ½ inches)

Width - 104 cm (41 inches)

Depth - 60 cm (23 ½ inches)

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.
