The exterior is finished in deep black lacquer, beautifully hand-painted with intricate gold landscape scenes, floral sprays, and ornate borders—each brushstroke telling a story of craftsmanship and cultural grace.

Open the lid to reveal a breathtaking interior panel: a vivid and colorful tableau featuring a delicate bird perched among blossoming flowers, rendered with extraordinary detail and lively hues. The interior scene bursts with life and color, offering a brilliant contrast to the more restrained exterior—a hidden jewel meant to delight and surprise.

Measuring 14.5 inches long, 4 inches deep, and 3 inches high, this fan box is both a functional storage piece and a captivating work of art. Good antique condition, signs of losses/wear to the lacquer on the exterior, particularly to the end sides. Please review the photos for further condition assessment.

Ideal for collectors of Chinese antiques or as a luxurious decorative accent in a curated interior. See less
