Long ago, a Chinese scholar would have used this trunk to hold and transport heavy books or piles of important manuscripts. Solidly built with a great deal of care, the trunk is constructed out of camphor wood with a polished finish that gives the surface a warm glow. This one-of-a-kind trunk was made over 150 years ago in Northern China.

What They're Saying

Andrea Goldman | Andrea Goldman Design

“Over the years, I’ve incorporated many pieces from PAGODA RED into my designs. Not only can they balance new furnishings (and often new construction) by feeling more established, but the pieces emanate a sense of rich history, often leaving you wondering where they were in a previous life. These beautiful pieces carefully hand-selected by the team at PAGODA RED, coupled with their unbelievable customer service, make them a must-have for any home.”
