Decorative Antique Chinese Stacking Box, Shanxi Province

About the Item

Remnants of the lacquer are still visible, lending the container a stunning patina that is further enhanced by the lacquered surface finish. Original forged iron fittings add both practicality and character. Origin: Shanxi Province, China, 1780-1820. Traditionally, stacking boxes like this were used to transport and store food during ceremonial or festive occasions, such as weddings, religious offerings, or other special events.
