FAQs

Traditional Chinese trunks, often used as dowry chests, date back centuries and were crafted to store valuable textiles, garments, and personal items as part of a brides marriage trousseau.

These chests are typically constructed from native hardwoods such as elm, pine, or camphor wood, utilizing traditional joinery methods without nails, and finished with layers of lacquer or pigment paints.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-forged iron or brass hardware, natural wear consistent with age, hand-mixed mineral pigments, and traditional mortise and tenon joinery rather than modern fasteners.

An antique trunk serves well as a functional coffee table in a contemporary living room, or as a statement storage piece at the foot of a bed, adding textural contrast and historical depth.

Preservation requires keeping the piece out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources to prevent the wood and painted finish from cracking, and dusting gently with a dry, soft cloth.
