About the Item

Late 19th century Qing lacquer and hand-carved varnished wood decorative box, China By: unknown Material: wood, lacquer Technique: carved, hand-carved, hand-crafted, lacquered, varnished Dimensions: 9 in x 7.5 in x 4 in Date: late 19th century Style: Qing Place of origin: China The Qing dynasty, which reigned over China from the mid-17th to the early 20th century, is renowned for its notable artistic achievements. Qing aesthetics often emphasized harmony, balance, and an intricate interplay of traditional motifs with natural themes, reflecting the dynasty's deep connection to cultural heritage and philosophical ideals. These characteristics are beautifully embodied in this late 19th-century decorative box. Crafted from wood and meticulously lacquered in a rich, reddish hue, the box features a beautifully carved scene on its exterior. Depicting a serene landscape with a temple and lush foliage, the carving's level of detail is truly remarkable, displaying the high-quality work of the Qing craftsmen. The removable lid reveals an elegant black interior, further highlighting the contrast and the visual impact of the piece. This captivating box serves as a functional storage container but also stands as an example of the enduring legacy of the Qing dynasty. Its quality, both in terms of materials and execution, underscores the attention to detail and the profound respect for traditional techniques that define the Chinese tradition.
