Vintage Tribal Motif Black & White Chest

This hand-painted vintage chest is a storybook painted on wood. Sourced from the villages of India, these Vintage Folk Art Trunks (known as Pitara) were traditionally used to store quilts, heirlooms, and bridal dowries. Each one is a unique canvas, hand-painted by village artisans in a naive, expressive style that captures the joy and symbolism of daily life. Perfectly sized at 29″ x 16″ x 18″H, this vintage trunk is compact enough to fit anywhere while offering deep, practical storage. The construction is solid wood, reinforced with metal strapping and latches, but the charm lies in the patina. The paint has aged beautifully, softening into a matte, time-worn finish that feels authentic and grounded.

Add this cheerful painted trunk into a quirky coffee table with storage inside for blankets or place one at the foot of a twin bed or in a guest room for extra linens.
