Long ago, a Chinese scholar would have used this trunk to hold and transport heavy books or piles of important manuscripts. Solidly built with a great deal of care, the trunk is constructed out of camphor wood with a polished finish that gives the surface a warm glow. This one-of-a-kind trunk was made over 150 years ago in Northern China.

What They're Saying

Elizabeth Krueger | Elizabeth Krueger Design

“PAGODA RED was extremely supportive in helping to pull accessory options together for the Lake Forest Showhouse. After providing them with details and our vision on how we were looking to finish our space, Laurene helped curate options that made it easy for us to edit and finalize. It's also no surprise that the unique pieces we used in our showhouse space were some of the first to sell.”
