Chests & Trunks

Chinese chest trunks fulfill much the same storage function as cabinets in the Chinese household, and like cabinets, they come in a huge variety of sizes - some as big as a bed, other as tiny as a matchbox. They were made for each individual houses for sizes and designs. They could be colourful with paintings, Leather lining, carved etc.  

The traditional oriental, naturally moth-repellent camphor wood trunk is perfect for seasonal bed linen and duvet storage. Positioned at the bottom of a bed the oriental trunk is a handsome piece of bedroom furniture. The contemporary Mandarin trunk is equally stunning as are our antique trunks with hand-painted Chinese opera scenes. A sturdy wooden trunk is excellent storage for children
