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.
