Lot 73
A Chinese Chinoiserie Black Lacquer Trunk on Stand (20th Century)
Description
A Chinese Chinoiserie black lacquer trunk on a separate matching base stand, the rectangular storage box configured with a hinged lift top opening to reveal a natural wood interior cavity trimmed with an internal protective leather sealing strip, the exterior facades hand-painted with gold and polychrome wading cranes flanked by floral sprig borders and fitted with traditional incised brass hinge plating, all nesting upon a conjoining low table stand with short square legs terminating in subtle scroll-cut block feet
Details
Wood, lacquer, leather, gilt pigment, brass hardware
overall: 17 x 27 x 17 inches
Provenance
From an Upper West Side Collection
Condition
Good stable condition; multiple localized chips and minor finish flaking losses concentrated along the structural corner edges of the separate table support stand, with typical superficial scuffs across the black lacquer ground and minor uniform ambient fading to the hand-painted gold pigments.
