Crafted with extraordinary artistry during China's Republic Period, this sculptural vessel takes the form of a recumbent ram, executed in traditional Shanghai weave rattan. The piece features an exceptionally tight, micro-woven weave over a contoured frame, highlighting the animal's fluid anatomy from its carved hooves to its dramatically spiraling, ridged horns. Expressive inlaid eyes add character and vitality, while a saddle-form hinged lid on its back opens seamlessly to reveal a hollow interior compartment, all coated in a warm, honey-cognac lacquered patina.
A captivating focal point for a coffee table, library shelf, mantel, or vanity display, this zoomorphic box integrates effortlessly into Chinoiserie, Organic Modern, Folk Art, and Eclectic Asian-inspired interiors. Care involves light dusting with a soft brush or compressed air, keeping the natural woven fibers away from excessive moisture or direct heat. Measuring 13" W x 6.5" D x 9.75" H, it is in excellent vintage condition with a tight weave, no unraveling or structural repairs, and light wear consistent with careful preservation—contact us today to arrange insured shipping or inquire further.
