Description
  • Title: Restored Mid-Century Split Reed Rattan & Pine Trunk W/ Brass Paktong Latch
  • Description: A beautifully restored handcrafted coastal split reed rattan covered pine trunk featuring intricate traditional Chinese Paktong Latch made from an alloy of white copper, nickel, and zinc‚Äîwith a warm silvery-gold tone that bridges the look of brass and silver.

    Its warm honey rattan finish and curved edges highlight exceptional craftsmanship. Perfect for storage or as a decorative accent, this piece evokes the charm of mid-century island design and the elegance of traditional Chinese furniture. The trunk blends vintage charm with modern comfort.

    The Piece has been meticulously refinished to preserve the natural honey-color patina. Perfect for creating a warm, elevated tropical-inspired living space. In the style of Paul T. Frankl and James Mont.

    Every piece we offer is carefully restored by experts—structurally tightened, re-wrapped where needed, and finished with a long-lasting protective coat. With nearly 100 years of combined rattan knowledge, we ensure each item is both visually stunning and built for decades of continued enjoyment.

    Our high-resolution photos accurately show the flawless workmanship and timeless coastal character of each restored rattan piece. Vintage rattan is known for lasting 60–100 years, and our refinishing process prepares it to last another 75.
