Description
Trunks such as this were once used in China as wedding boxes by Chinese bride-to-be. A bride would use the trunk as storage for her clothes, bedding, blankets, and accessories while traveling to her new home at her newlywed husband's residence. Therefore, these trunks would often be decorated with vibrant red colors and charming flower motifs to symbolize domestic happiness and prosperity.
Sporting a weathered and worn look that reveals a bygone memoir, this trunk now serves either as a functional storage accessory or as a unique collectible to add a touch of Asian flair to contemporary design. The trunk features hand painted peony still-life motifs in vibrant vermillion red on its front face. A relief carved border runs at the base of the trunk. Matching brass hinges, side handles, and circular claps plate round out its quiet beauty. Its spacious interior provides ample storage space for all of your needs. It can be used as a storage device or as an unconventional cocktail or coffee table.
Care
All finishes (including wax and varnish) offer some water resistance, but the painted furniture will not be waterproof. With this in mind, you should use coasters under glasses and clean any spills as soon as you possibly can.
Waxes and varnishes will dissolve in alcohol, so in particular avoid any alcohol spills and avoid using cleaning products that contain alcohol. Please bear in mind that certain liquids, especially those with strong staining capabilities, will stain and the mark(s) may be permanent.
We advise that you keep your piece of furniture away from extreme temperatures or humidity. Also avoid placement in direct exposure to the sun for prolonged periods of time. Sunlight can cause damage and fading over time.
Regular dusting with a slightly damp microfiber cloth will help keep the furniture clean. Make sure the cloth is clean before using, as foreign particles may cause scratching on the surface. It is also recommended to use the microfiber cloth to avoid scratching of the surface and to buff out smears and smudges. If using a damp cloth, always make sure to remove any excess water left behind, as this can damage the finish. For tough grime or grease, a slight amount of mild soap may be used.
Do not use any liquid furniture polishes as they may contain dimethazone (a silicone which can cause cracks to appear in the paint). Polish/wax will change the sheen on the finish. It?s not recommended to be used unless it is finished in glossy finish.
