About the Item

This vintage Chinese trunk captures attention with its vibrant green painted finish, softened by areas of natural wear that reveal its age and hand-crafted origins. Rectangular in form, the trunk is fitted with a brass lock plate and chain, accompanied by side handles that balance utility with decorative charm. The bold exterior contrasts with the dark brown interior, where the wood tones have deepened over time, giving the piece additional depth and authenticity. The trunk’s proportions make it a versatile addition to interiors. It can serve as a storage chest for linens or keepsakes, a low coffee table in a living room, or even as an accent piece placed at the foot of a bed. The bright color provides a lively focal point, whether in a minimalist modern setting or within an eclectic mix of antiques. Its combination of traditional Chinese hardware and contemporary vibrancy creates a dialogue between past and present, offering decorators and collectors a piece that is both functional and full of character.
