Antique Chinese Red Lacquer Chest

This chest is an example of classic Chinese painted red wood craftsmanship. Chests such as these were often used to store teas and medicinal herbs. The doors and sides of this example are adorned with intricate paintings of everyday life that typify this style. The doors of the chest do not open, but the chest itself makes for a lovely addition to an Asian-style residence or even to an European building that reflects a well-traveled and discerning owner.
