About the Item
A vintage Chinese red lacquer blanket chest from the Mid-20th Century with egret bird motifs and friezes of bats and flowers around all the edges. Immerse yourself in the artful allure of this vintage Chinese red lacquer blanket chest from the mid 20th century. Its vibrant red, blue, green, white and golden hues come alive with friezes of bat and flowers as well as egret bird motifs, enveloping every edge in a tapestry of color and symbolism.
Every detail is a testament to craftsmanship. The lid captivates with its calligraphic symbol, a significant element in Chinese culture. The meticulously rendered egret, a symbol of purity in Chinese art, is seen both perched on a blue colored branch surrounded by red and white flowers and in flight, adding a sense of depth and dynamism. Bats and flowers form friezes along the edges, a decorative touch that enhances the chest's charm.
Inside, the chest reveals an unexpected pop of color with its yellow interior, providing a vibrant contrast to the exterior's red lacquer.
Functionality meets aesthetics with linear side handles that maintain the chest's streamlined look while aiding in transportation. The back of the chest continues the floral theme, adorned with delicate flowers for a consistent look all around.
This vintage Chinese red lacquer blanket chest is more than a storage solution – it's a celebration of Chinese culture, art, and history. Whether used for storage or as a decorative piece, it is sure to imbue any space with its striking visual appeal and deep symbolic meaning.
