Description :

Handcrafted wooden box featuring dark stained hardwood construction with ornate brass corner mounts, decorative side plates, and a traditional loop handle. The hardware style and joinery are consistent with mid‑20th‑century Chinese decorative boxes produced for domestic use and export. The aged surface, patinated brass, and hand‑finished details suggest workshop production rather than mass manufacture.

The interior lid displays a vertical panel of traditional Chinese script, likely a short poetic inscription or auspicious phrase commonly included in mid‑century gift boxes and keepsake chests. The script style and layout align with decorative inscriptions used from the 1950s–1970s.

Functional hinged lid and latch closure. A well‑preserved example of mid‑century Chinese decorative craftsmanship, suitable for collectors of Asian art, global décor, and vintage handcrafted boxes.



Dimensions : 4.5 in L x 4.5 in W x 5 in H
