Description
Traditional small Chinese Qing Dynasty 19th Century cinnabar lacquered enamel trinket box that has a hinged cover lid in hand carved relief with figures of wise men under a pine tree, with blue enamel interior & standing on 4 ball feet.
This extraordinary Chinese cinnabar lacquer box is finely detailed high quality. A technique of engraving pattern on a thick layer of red lacquer is applied in this piece. From the lid to the bottom, very detailed multiple geometric & leaf foliage patterns are also hand carved into the background. With an attractive slim rectangle shape. What especially stands out are the colours, the main colour which has a fabulous copper red finish & the interior is turquoise which you will fall in love with.
Although lacquer is used in many Asian cultures, the art of carving lacquer is unique to China.
Beautifully made and so collectible and sought after. Made from mixed materials, wood, lacqueur & enamel with beautiful patina.
Circa 19th century Late Qing Dynasty. Origin from China. Provenance from an antiques dealer in the middle Shires.
