The beautifully carved bands around this 19th-century keeper's trunk from Northern China are rounded to mimic the iron that would traditionally bind a slatted washing tub. With its unusual oval form and partially removable lid, secured by a small brass lock, this finely-made trunk was likely used by a merchant to store and secure his keep. Coated in richly aged red and black lacquer, this trunk is a charming addition to the home as a side piece or coffee table.
