Antique Asian Chests and Vintage Trunks from Across the Far East
For centuries, antique Asian chests and trunks have served as both functional storage and exquisite works of art. From ornately decorated Chinese lacquer blanket chests to rustic Indonesian wooden trunks, these pieces reflect the craftsmanship, materials, and cultural traditions of their time. At FEA Home, we have carefully curated a collection of antique and vintage storage chests and trunks from China, Japan, India, Indonesia, and Southeast Asia, dating from the 17th to early 20th century.
Masterpieces of Craftsmanship & Materials
Every antique and vintage Asian trunk and chest in our collection is built with durability and beauty in mind. These pieces are handcrafted using premium hardwoods, including elm, camphor, teak, rosewood, and cypress, ensuring both strength and elegance.
Many of our Asian chests and trunks feature hand-carved detailing, brass locks, iron corner brackets, and engraved hardware, reflecting the artistic traditions of their origins. The aged patinas and natural distressing add character, making each piece one of a kind.
