About the Item
In the opulent tapestry of 19th-century Chinese craftsmanship, a monumental ceremonial bamboo basket stands as a testament to unparalleled artistry and cultural significance. In remarkable condition, this extraordinary four-tiered masterpiece, meticulously handwoven and hand-carved, commands attention with intricate depictions of dragons and phoenixes, treasure pots, peonies, and longevity motif, all bathed in gilded splendor. Solid bronze handles and butterfly shaped braces with coin motif. The lid, woven with exceptional precision, unfolds a visual narrative embodying the profound message of "Long Life as the Southern Mountain," a sentiment bestowed upon a nobleman in southern China during the 19th century. This extraordinary birthday present encapsulates not only the refined craftsmanship of its time but also carries with it the weight of tradition, embodying wishes for enduring prosperity and the longevity of a majestic life.
