A more rustic interpretation of classic Qing-dynasty furniture, this antique chest simplifies the silhouette with pert, upturned flanges and just a hint of taper to its square frame. Once a brilliant shade of red, an emblem of joy and prosperity, the chest’s distressed lacquer finish and dark patina tells a story of time passed and calls to be touched. Tightly packed with clothing or objects, the chest once provided vital storage in the personal quarters of a Qing-dynasty home. With a finish only time can provide, the chest adds richness as a library accent or foyer piece.
