You are viewing a gorgeous Chinese camphor chest intricately carved Circa 1930 on this chest Would make for a great decorative piece or even as a coffee table Chinese camphor chests, often crafted from richly carved wood, were traditionally used to store clothing and valuables, protected by the aromatic properties of camphor. These chests not only offered practical storage solutions but also served as ornate decorative pieces reflecting intricate craftsmanship and cultural heritage. In the 18th and 19th century, chests made from naturally fragrant camphor wood were primarily used to transport tea, porcelain, and silks from China to Europe Prior to their use in sea trade, camphor chests were used in Chinese households as storage units for objects such as blankets and linens.
