Product Description

Indulge in the exquisite luxury of this fabulous aspen wood standing storage chest handcrafted by talented Asian artisans. The top, back and sides of this fabulous piece are resplendent with golden lacquer paneling embellished with exotic botanical themes rendered in stunning faux-watercolors. The gold background is created through color-plating using the "jin gui pai" or "golden turtle armor" method, a traditional technique dating back to the Tang Dynasty (618-907 A.D.). "Tong fen," or bronze powder, is added to the paint to provide extra gleam and the surface is then lacquered in place, creating a lustrous finish. Smooth black lacquer and additional detailing border the edges of the frame for a chic, sophisticated flavor. Unlock the imperial-style brass latch and open the chest to reveal a commodious storage compartment ideal for keeping extra bedding, books, and other precious sundries close at hand. Elegant black-lacquered legs raise this chest off the ground for easy access. This sumptuous creation makes a terrific end table, bed footer or foyer centerpiece, and is sure to become a valued addition to your decor. Measures 20 inches high x 20 inches wide x 14 inches long.
