Camphor Trunks were commonly produced as a set - one for the husband and one for the wife - and served as storage for garments. The straightforward design is representative of the Ming era. Thanks to the camphor wood, these trunks naturally repel moths and other pests while preserving delicate silk. The fittings are crafted from brass and are typically original, unless otherwise noted.
