{"product_id":"large-vintage-black-gold-chinoiserie-box","title":"Large Antique Wood Black \u0026 Gold Chinoiserie Box","description":"\u003cp\u003eA lavish example of 19th-century Chinese Export art, this large presentation box was crafted in the workshops of Canton. It is defined by its \"shaped\" silhouette with chamfered, lobed corners and its surface, which is entirely covered in hand-painted gold gilt scenes. The artwork depicts bustling narratives of life in imperial courtyards—tiny figures chatting in pavilions, crossing bridges, and strolling through gardens—all rendered in delicate gold brushwork against a deep black lacquer ground. This style, known as Chinoiserie in the West, was the ultimate status symbol in Victorian homes, representing the mystery and wealth of the East. In a bedroom, it serves as a spectacular heirloom jewelry chest on a dresser, offering ample space for larger statement necklaces and watches that don't fit in standard velvet boxes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"ul1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e*Era: Antique\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e*Size: 19“(L) x 15“(D) x 6.5“(H)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e*Material: Wood\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e*Color: Black\/Gilt\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e*Product Type:\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e*Style: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eCantonese Export \/ Chinoiserie \/ Regency\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e*\u003cspan\u003eMotif:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Court Life \/ Pavilion Scenes \/ Floral Borders\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e*Origin: China\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e*Condition: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eAntique with expected wear to the gold gilt and fine crazing to the lacquer (consistent with age). \u003c\/span\u003eWear consistent with age \u0026amp; use, blemishes and imperfections will be present.
