This Pair of Large Size Antique Chinese Gilt Red Lacquer Pigskin-Stretched Wooden wedding Trunks with Double-Happiness, Shou (Longevity), and Bat Motives are indeed elaborate and impressive! Made with precious and expensive organic color pigment and as part of a festive occasion such as a wedding, these beautiful red leather trunks are appliqued with cut motives of leather painted in guilt for decoration. They still retain the original large size old brass fitting. However, the one remaining original lock will likely need to be cut as the key is no longer available. There are various torn spots at the corners of the trunks and some stains on the inside leather. However, they are great collectible items as well as can be used as special storage for one's treasured items! Late 19-early 20th century. Sold as is and as a pair only.
Approximate dimensions for each trunk: 31" L x 13" H x 20 1/4" D
