Discover the elegance of traditional Chinese scholar's objects with this vintage brass fan-shaped ink box. Crafted from solid brass with a warm, aged patina, the lid is intricately engraved with a detailed scene featuring a dragon and a phoenix amidst stylized clouds—a classic pairing symbolizing harmony and auspiciousness. The box is shaped like a traditional folding fan and opens to reveal a hollow interior, originally designed to hold ink paste or small scholar's items. This substantial piece is in good vintage condition with minor wear and a beautiful natural patina consistent with age. It serves as a unique decorative accent for a desk, bookshelf, or as a distinctive addition to an Asian antiques collection.
