This is a stunning antique Chinese camphor wood trunk with brass fittings, and featuring an interesting desert scape scene, circa 1920 in date. 


Elaborately detailed, the trunk has been crafted from camphor wood and features exquisite carved relief decoration showing scenes typical of Chinese life in the past.

A lot of intricate detailing has gone into the creation of this beautiful trunk, note the wonderful  floral decoration which has been accomplished by hand carving the wood.

Camphorwood was used in the manufacture of travelling trunks as the wonderful scent given off by the wood discouraged insects, and kept them away.

This gorgeous trunk is in extremely good condition and has been well cared for,  please see photographs to confirm condition.

Camphorwood
is a large evergreen tree that grows up to 20–30 metres tall. The leaves have a glossy, waxy appearance and smell of camphor when crushed. In spring it produces bright green foliage with masses of small white flowers. It produces clusters of black berry-like fruit around 1cm in diameter. It has a pale bark that is very rough and fissured vertically.

Cinnamomum camphora is native to China south of the Yangtze River, Taiwan, Japan, Korea, and Vietnam, and has been introduced to many other countries.
