Hand-Painted Black and Gold Lacquer Trunk with Court Scene, Late Qing Dynasty
Located in Yonkers, NY
A late Qing Dynasty hand-painted black lacquer trunk with gold-gilded decoration, this early 20th-century storage chest is a striking piece that blends function with artistry. The exterior features detailed chinoiserie motifs, depicting a courtly scene with finely robed figures set within an intricate landscape of pavilions, trees, and architectural elements. The rich black lacquered surface provides a dramatic contrast to the delicate gold detailing, emphasizing the depth and movement in the design.
Crafted from softwood, the trunk retains its original metal hardware, including side handles and a front latch. Inside, a compartmentalized storage space includes a small side box, once used for securing smaller valuables. Originally intended for general storage, it now serves as a versatile piece adaptable to modern interiors.
Placed in a living room as a coffee table, it offers both elegance and practicality, with ample space for stowing away throws or books. In an entryway or bedroom, it functions as a decorative trunk or blanket chest, effortlessly blending into classic, vintage, or eclectic spaces. Whether used for textile storage, a low-profile side table, or a distinctive conversation piece, this Chinese lacquer chest...

French Parisienne Black wood and brass travel trunk - 19th Paris France
Located in Beuzevillette, FR
Very fine late 19th century travel trunk in wood, brass, black coated canvas and interior fabric by A. Maille-Lavolaille.
This superb trunk bears a plate monogrammed "C.F & Cie Paris" and a second plate numbered 2.
The lock is inscribed "A. MAILLE-LAVOLAILLE" and "3 Rue Croix-des-Petits-Champs" are the name and Paris address of the manufacturer.
The signature on the lock is quite rare, making this model particularly interesting.
A goddess or gorgon is engraved on the top of the lock.
A label remains inside the trunk.
This extremely decorative, yet useful and historic trunk has very nice dimensions.
The trunk shows signs of wear due to its age and many travels, making it a wonderful witness to history.
Late 19th century - France
The Lavolaille firm, successor to Katz et Cie, was founded in 1845, specializing in trunks for sales representatives. Made of wood, with strong handles and straps, and with interior layouts that varied according to the object, they were the ancestors of the "marmotte".
Lavolaille would later join forces with A. Maille, another trunk manufacturer specialized in commercial travelers.
Most trunks are covered with black canvas, steel or brass edging and decorative upholstery nails on the top or front of the trunk.
Some trunks had nails signed "Lavolaille", like Louis Vuitton nails.

Vintage, New and Antique Blanket Chests
Antique and vintage blanket chests go by many names. You may have heard them called hope chests, dowry chests or Lane cedar chests, with the latter referring to the now-famous case pieces manufactured by the Lane Furniture company.
No matter the name, these were initially large crude wooden boxes with hinged lids where you stowed away your blankets, household linens and possibly some valuables. Everyone can always use a bit more storage in our bedrooms or guest bedrooms, and blanket chests can be a stylish solution to help you stay organized, particularly if you’re short on closet space.
Blanket storage trunks are still typically equipped with hinges on their lids for easy access to their large storage capacity. They’re often rectangular pieces, but in the hands of today’s furniture designers, contemporary blanket chests take on many shapes and are made of varying materials. Most antique blanket chests are made out of wood, from rich mahogany to oak.
Find a wide range of antique, new and vintage blanket chests available for sale on 1stDibs.
