    A rare traditional Chinese three-tiered box, used for weddings or as an offering box. Made of black lacquered wood, it is richly decorated with mother-of-pearl inlays depicting scenes of life, symbolic animals (deer, birds, cranes), flowers and calligraphic characters.

    The set comprises three stackable compartments, a compartmentalized inner tray and a lid topped by a carved arched handle. The interior is entirely red lacquered. This type of object combines ritual function with high decorative quality, in the tradition of South Chinese art.

    Period: Late 19th century
    Materials: Lacquered wood, mother-of-pearl
    Dimensions: 28 x 37 cm
    Condition: Good condition with traces of wear and tear and cracks in the varnish. Some missing mother-of-pearl visible on photos.
