Blonde Chinese Hide Storage Trunk, C. 1800
About the Item
Trunks and storage chests were the most ubiquitous form of household storage throughout the Ming and Qing dynasties. Used to store clothes, linens, kitchen utensils, and other miscellaneous items, trunks were found in every room in the home and were often stacked on top of one another.
This early 19th century storage trunk has a simple, rectangular form, wrapped in a layer of softly worn hide. Likely originally coated in dark oxblood-brown lacquer, the hide exterior has been stripped and bleached to a neutral, pale blonde color. The interior is lined with charming vintage paper printed with flowers, butterflies and offering fruits.
