Red Lacquer Blanket Chest with Gilt Lions, Floral Motifs, and Storage
About the Item
This red lacquered blanket chest stands out with its vibrant finish and intricate gilt decoration. The rectangular lid is richly adorned with floral motifs and rosettes, opening via a traditional brass clasp to reveal a yellow fabric-lined interior stamped with a red mark. The front panel features a dynamic scene of guardian lions, or foo dogs, flanking a bow-tied sphere—a motif often associated with protection and prosperity. Gilt scholar’s objects, scrolling clouds, and symbolic patterns continue around the sides, creating a balanced yet lively composition.
Iron side handles allow the chest to be moved with ease, while the back is more sparsely decorated with floral designs, maintaining visual interest without overwhelming. The lacquer surface shows soft wear consistent with use, enhancing its warm patina and visual texture.
Ideal for use as a low storage piece at the foot of a bed or tucked beneath a console, this chest brings a bright, storied presence to any room. Its compact proportions and layered symbolism make it as functional as it is decorative.
