Chinese Hardwood Longevity Symbol Trunk

A finely constructed rectangular storage trunk made of rich, dark hardwood, adorned with traditional Chinese roundels featuring the "shou" (longevity) symbol carved in low relief. The trunk lid mirrors the same motif with two additional roundels, giving it balanced symmetry. The trunk features a brass clasp lockplate with etched bird and floral designs and is mounted on slightly splayed feet, suggesting portability and stability. The interior is unlined and spacious, suitable for textile or document storage. The deep reddish-brown hue and polished finish highlight the natural wood grain, enhancing its classic appeal.
