About the Item

Exclusive & fine quality hand-crafted Chinoiserie box. The diversity in techniques and materials used by craftsman around the world and over the last centuries never seizes to amaze us. This hand-carved wooden box not only comes with a decor of bamboo plants on all sides, it also has a rare, maritime decor of inlaid soapstone in the lid. The Asian sampan boats sailing the rocky sea are created out of a variety of different colors of soapstone and it is the first example of its kind we ever saw. This glorious box can be used for all kinds of purposes and we would not be surprised if this rare antique will be sailing to Asia or an Asian-born custodian soon. Apart from minor imperfections this antique is in very good condition and if you like it as much as we do then you will love our price. Especially, when taken into account that perfect packing and worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 days is complimentary. Maximum height x width x depth: 3.5 x 8.12 x 5.75 inches. We have a passion for the unique, for quality, for stylish yet practical and for craftsmanship of years gone by. Your purchases will be extremely well packaged and we look forward to serving you (again). Would you like to see all our 600+ listings on 1stdibs?
