Description
This striking Chinese red lacquered trunk features authentic round brass hardware and a traditional medallion lock that opens to reveal a beautifully cedar-lined interior. The rich red finish is enhanced with subtle antiqued black shading along the edges, creating depth and character while highlighting the natural wood grain.
Designed with classic side handles and reinforced brass corner mounts, this piece rests on a refined raised plinth base, giving it both visual presence and practical stability. The rectangular lift-top lid provides generous concealed storage, making it as functional as it is decorative.
