Item Description

This late 19th century hand carved camphor chest has massive detailed raised carving works on all four sides and the top. It is opened on top and has an antique latch/lock on the front and antique hinge at back. Some loose hardware was found inside. It is made from natural fragrant camphor wood.
A little history lesson: These chests were valuable vessels for transporting silks, tea, and porcelain from China to Europe. Therefore, many of them found a place in the homes of the wealthiest Europeans. They were mainly used to store objects like clothes, linens, blankets, etc. These chests helped ensure that moths didn’t attack the stored items.

Notes: Please view all photos for details. They are part of the desription. We will try to point out any obvious defects - but everything is sold -as-is
