Chinese Nested Bamboo, Brass and Rattan Wedding Basket

About the Item

A beautiful Chinese nested wedding basket in brown, red, and brass. Baskets like these were given to brides on their wedding day before going to their new home. This basket has three nested boxes that stack one on top of the other. Two side pieces, one on each side are intricately carved with a figurative scene of a woman on her wedding day amongst flora and fauna. The two panels come together at the top and make a handle for carrying. Cut brass pieces decorate throughout and on the top in a stylized brass handle. We love the idea of using this basket as a side table or accent table in a living room or patio. Dimensions: 13.75" Wide 16" Deep 24" Tall

  • 2 Antique Chinese Red & Black Lacquer Bamboo Rattan Nested Picnic Wedding Basket
    Located in Dayton, OH
    An impressive pair of antique Chinese two tiered hexagon shaped wedding basket or box. Made of lacquered bamboo and rattan. Hand painted in red and black with green accents. Written cursive script translates to poems about "picking mulberry leaves" and "the dangerous and difficult road when traveling through mountains". Also mentioned "Bailu" (15th solar term in the traditional Chinese calendars, around September), "Huangmei" (rainy season, in the Middle And Lower Reaches Of The Yangtze River), which could indicate this basket is probably made in the region near middle or lower part of Yangtze river. The orange marks on bottom ??/?? both translate to Wu Dui, who we assume was the artist / maker. Festive red stacking lacquer boxes are used for carrying food during the wedding procession of the bride. Usually there are two sets of boxes to balance each on the end of the pole. The top box serves as a lid for the bottom box and has a lid of its own. All are beautifully painted in red for good luck. The tradition of Chinese wedding boxes...
