19th Century Chinese Huanghuali Mirrored Jewelry Chest

About the Item

This mirrored Chinese jewelry chest is composed of rosewood and features three drawers with brass mountings. The top section of the piece lifts up to reveal a rectangular mirror framed within an ornamental squared off meander pattern. The mirror folds away for storage within a recessed compartment and is secured by virtue of a folding brass latch. The three drawers have decorative hinged batwing escutcheons, the right side of which lift up to reveal keyholes. The escutcheons are fitted with ovoid tabs which open the drawers. The base of the box is also finished with a meander pattern. The wood and brass have acquired an aged patina, and the piece displays beautifully. The box measures 12.375" tall to the top of the open mirror. The mirror frame measures 9" x 6.625" (mirror dimensions 7.5" x 3.375"). The small drawers measure 9.625" x 3" x 1.25" and the large drawers 9.625" x 6.75" x 1.25". The box weighs 2 lbs 3 oz.

  • Wright & Davies Sterling Silver Box Hand Painted Enamel Plaque with Genre Scene
    By Wright & Davies 1
    Located in Cincinnati, OH
    This fabulous rectangular sterling silver box was made in 1887 by English silversmiths William Thomas Wright and Frederick Davies and has been fitted with a hand painted enamel plaque on the lid that features a genre scene. The delightful image is set within an elegantly appointed salon and depicts an artist seated in front of a gilt-framed canvas that bears a partially completed portrait of a baby. The painter is surrounded by an entourage of sumptuously attired women who are attempting to capture the baby's attention and direct it toward the artist. The lid opens with a tapering tab at the front. The child's nurse holds her charge upright on a table that is covered by an ornate embroidered cloth trimmed in fringe. A lady dressed in purple stands next to her and leans toward the child in an attempt to cajole the baby into cooperating with the task at hand. The artist is seated opposite the child on an upholstered bench and holds his paintbrush in his right hand while simultaneously pointing up to a cluster of fruit. The fruit cluster is dangled by a lady dressed in a patterned yellow gown who wears a bemused expression on her face as she attempts to focus the baby's attention. Another woman dressed in blue and pink is seated in a green upholstered chair...
