    • Description

      This is a beautiful vintage mid-century Chinese tabletop jewelry chest, styled after a traditional altar cabinet. Crafted from a rich, warm red-toned hardwood (likely rosewood or teak), the chest features elegant everted flanges on the top surface, traditional hand-carved bracket accents, and classic heart-shaped brass drawer pulls.

      Interior & Functionality:
      The interior houses a beautiful five-compartment storage layout:

      - Two small, independent drawers at the top.
      - Three larger, tiered drawers lined with vibrant, original blue silk brocade fabric featuring woven floral and bamboo motifs.
      - The lower drawers include built-in dividers, making it an excellent organizer for rings, necklaces, and delicate valuables.

      Condition Note:
      This piece is missing its original drop-front vertical cover panel. The exposed front reveals the beautiful tiered inner drawers perfectly, making it highly functional as an open-shelving jewelry display piece, or an excellent candidate for a restoration project. The original brass hinges and drawer faces remain completely intact.

      Dimensions:

      - Width: 13.5 inches
      - Depth: 7.25 inches
      - Height: 9.75 inches

    Shopping Vintage Saves The World

    Choosing vintage isn’t just a style statement — it’s a sustainable lifestyle. When you shop vintage clothing, retro fashion, and secondhand treasures, you help reduce textile waste, lower carbon emissions, and slow the fast fashion cycle. Every pre-loved piece keeps one more item out of landfills and conserves the resources needed to make something new. It’s eco-friendly fashion with timeless flair.

    The vendors at Bliss work tirelessly to save beautiful treasures from the landfill while serving you curated looks to bring home.

    When you come to checkout, you might also notice that we strive to use recycled materials as often as possible. Collectively, we bring in boxes and packing materials to be repurposed to protect your finds.

    We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for choosing to shop sustainably and support local. Every time you pick a vintage find or a secondhand gem from our shop, you’re making a powerful statement — one that says you care about the planet and the community.

    Your conscious choices help reduce waste, cut down on pollution, and breathe new life into quality pieces that deserve a second story. And by supporting a local business like ours, you're helping build a more resilient, connected, and creative neighborhood.

    We’re so grateful to be part of your journey toward a more thoughtful and eco-friendly lifestyle. Thank you for making a difference — one beautiful piece at a time.
