Chinese Rosewood Hope Chest – Longevity Motif, Brass Lock & Tray Organizer

Blending classic Chinese artistry with practical storage, this vintage rosewood hope chest presents a refined solution for stowing cherished belongings. Constructed from solid rosewood with a deep, lustrous finish, the chest features the traditional Shou symbol—emblematic of long life and prosperity—carved into both the lid and front panel.

Decorative yet functional, the piece is accented with aged brass hardware, including a hinged clasp and original lock and key. Graceful cabriole-style legs anchor the design, echoing timeless Chinese furniture aesthetics.

The interior offers generous storage capacity, complete with a removable tray for organizing smaller items. Whether used at the foot of a bed or as a living room accent, it serves as both a heritage object and a useful furnishing.

Condition

In good vintage condition with age-appropriate signs of use. Minor surface scratches and wear to the finish. A small chip on the right front leg does not affect stability. Brass components display an attractive natural patina.
