This beautiful early Tibetan chest would have been used for storing religious scrolls and precious possessions in a wealthy home or a Tibetan monastery. It dates to the early 18th century as is clear from its wear although it could well be older. This style of trunk is defined by its soft tapering sides and carved false lid and is from Southern Tibet. It is known as a Lhoka box, referring to the Tibetan district of Lhoka, South of the Yarlung Tsangpo river which forms the Brahmaputra in India. Lhoka was the center of Kagyu Buddhism until the early 17th century when Lhasa became the capital and the Gelupa Buddhist school came to prominence. As wealth and power shifted away from Lhoka, the old furniture designs persisted with very little change. The scalloped lid is likely influenced by leather boxes dating from the Mongol Yuan dynasty (1279 - 1368). The central design is a cluster of jewels representing the unity of body, speech, and mind in Buddha's teachings. Lotus flowers blossom from a bowl framed by rhino horns. A similar example can be found in Auspicious by Design by Corona, (plate 20). Antique Tibetan furniture is becoming increasingly rare and is often found covered in a sticky residue. This is due to the continual burning of yak butter lamps. Our expert team has sensitively restored this piece, cleaning the residue whilst retaining its age and patina.

* This chest of drawers has unfortunately now sold, but I am however able to source and hand paint another similar set for you. Please send me a message to find out more details. Step back into history with this Hand-Painted Victorian Chest of DrawersThis upcycled solid pine Victorian chest of 5 drawers is more than just furniture—it's a living testament to history. Every inch of its surface seems to echo with the tales of its previous owners, each stripe of paint a chapter in its story. Every time I glance at it, I'm drawn into its past, feeling the presence of those who once cherished it.It has all the charming quirks of the Victorian-era, but now with a fresh, contemporary feel. Meticulously hand-painted in warm creamy white and sage green stripes and finished with a semi matte varnish, some of its original drawer handles still boast those adorable mother of pearl inserts, and those that were missing have been recreated to blend beautifully.The top has been sanded smooth and nourished with a warm golden brown finishing oil.The inside of each drawer has been cleaned and nourished with a natural furniture oil.The whole chest is a touch of old-world glam with a cosy, welcoming vibe that fits perfectly into any style of home.One of the biggest draws, (no pun intended), of these drawers is the fact they all have a keyhole. Sadly, no key, but I wonder what secrets were locked away….. diaries, love letters, lacy undergarments, or perhaps it was simply used for linen storage and kept locked up by the housekeeper.Whatever its secrets may be, it’s the perfect understated, yet eye-catching, piece that’s different, stylish, and unique, and offers ample storage for clothes, linens, and whatever else you need to tuck away.So, whether you're embracing the past or adding a touch of charm to the present, this chest of drawers is your go-to. It's history, reinvented. It's tradition, with a twist. It's a piece of the past, brought back to life for you.H-116cmW-105cmD-44cmWrapped delivery is included within mainland England & Wales.
