i don't feel you need to design the room around a single art type piece.

Is it the right size to put at the foot of the bed? It would be a cool blanket chest.

HI -- Beautiful piece but this type of Art furniture is best done in small doses and matching it can make a room look and feel very heavy .

my first experience with matched furniture was with danish modern and antique india. I actually believe the minimalist lines of modern furniture tends to lend itself really well to antiques

Beautiful piece. The problem with this type piece is its size. Could you use it in a bedroom as a night stand. It has a flat top which makes it easier to use. It could be a coffee table. But you use it as a unique piece not match it with other pieces as stated already. Depending on your style in your home you could use as coffee table and drape it with colorful, fringed shawl. That would take it in eclectic style direction but be very cool. Enjoy this treasure.

Use it in a corner of a living room, bedroom or office. Add a nice plant next to it. Great place to store extra throw blankets. Leave the top open and keep a couple of throw pillows on top.

I agree w all the advice you’ve been given so far. The pieces exact size will determine if it’s best suited as a coffee table, end table, or on its own with art hung above it. Your storage needs will determine if this is a functioning piece or purely decorative. You can mix lots of different styles of furniture with antique trunks...

guys, thread ended last june.
