Beautifully crafted from finely woven wicker and wood, the entire piece is coated in a rich, high-gloss black lacquer and elaborately hand-painted with shimmering gold/gilt motifs. The lid and sides feature intricate graphic compositions of birds perched among pine, bamboo, and floral branches—traditional motifs symbolizing happiness, longevity, and a prosperous marriage.
This is a two-tiered stacked configuration consisting of a deep bottom basket with a fixed, sturdy structural handle, an independent nesting middle tray, and a beautifully domed lid. The interior is finished in a clean, high-gloss black lacquer featuring authentic handwritten red character/inventory marks on the bottom of the tiers.
Whether styled as a statement centerpiece on a coffee table, placed on a gallery pedestal, or used for elegant decorative storage, this piece brings a wonderful sense of history and sophisticated texture to both traditional and modern interiors. See less
