About the Item

This early 20th-century Republic of China Plique-à-Jour covered box is an exceptional example of Chinese artisanship. Plique-à-Jour, a technique akin to cloisonné but without a backing, allows light to shine through the translucent enamel, creating a stunning visual effect. The box is intricately designed with meticulous attention to detail, featuring vibrant colors and complex patterns that come to life when illuminated. The covered box comes with a matching stand, enhancing its display and adding an extra layer of sophistication. The cover itself is a marvel of craftsmanship, fitting seamlessly onto the box and adorned with equally intricate designs. This antique Plique-à-Jour box is not just a container but a work of art, reflecting the high level of craftsmanship that characterized the Republic of China period. It would make a distinguished addition to any collection of fine Chinese art. circa: 1920, Republic of China period, early 20th Century
