A beautiful early 1900s antique Chinese wedding (betrothal) basket, made of wood with a rich red lacquer finish, a fitted lid, a tall arched bentwood handle, and metal fittings. Baskets like this were traditionally used to carry gifts between families for a wedding; red is a symbol of prosperity, joy, and love in Chinese culture.
Use it to store throws, magazines, or kindling beside a fireplace, as a planter cover, or as a striking accent on a console, hearth, or bookshelf. A meaningful wedding or anniversary gift, and a natural fit for Chinese, chinoiserie, Asian antique, and eclectic interiors.
