An attractive early Chinese coffer in richly patinated camphor wood, painted in a deep red finish. The interior includes a small fitted shelf, likely intended for candles or smaller objects, while the exterior retains its original brass lock and protective brass corner mounts, designed to safeguard the piece during transport.
 
Both functional and decorative, the coffer offers excellent storage and, at a convenient height, also serves beautifully as a small coffee table. A versatile and characterful piece with timeless appeal.
