About the Item
This is a beautiful hand-crafted antique Chinese lacquer box, crafted from camphor wood, a material often used in traditional Chinese furniture. The exterior is coated in a rich, reddish-brown lacquer, which has aged gracefully, revealing a beautiful patina.
The box is distinguished by its intricate hand-painted decoration. The front panel features a vibrant folk art scene of two figures wrestling, a motif that often symbolizes strength, playfulness, and harmony in Chinese culture. The top and sides are adorned with delicate black and gold floral and vine patterns. The metal hardware, including the latch and side handles, shows signs of age, adding to its vintage character. Camphor wood was sometimes used to produce these boxes for its aroma and insect-repellent properties.
