About the Item
An old Chinese lacquered fabric over wood lidded box with hand-painted calligraphy and iron braces. This old Chinese lacquered box, a perfect example of traditional craftsmanship, is fashioned from fabric meticulously stretched over wood, a testament to the ingenuity of ancient techniques. Its surface is graced with hand-painted calligraphy, a form of art that speaks volumes of the rich cultural heritage from which it stems, while iron braces add to its robust charm. Adding depth and intrigue are meander and Vitruvian scroll motifs that adorn the box, their classical lines invoking a timeless beauty.
