Perfect for bathrooms, bedrooms and more, this decadent jewelry chest and mirror gives you endless options on how to utilize this functional piece. Either as a vanity area or to store your most precious adornments, this oriental chest is sure to dress up any area with a hint of Eastern flair. With an opulent ancient ladies theme, this chest has 1 drawer pulling out to a vast area for storing your items. Finished in a wonderful gold-like lacquer, this piece is sure not to disappoint. This collection of fine Chinese home accents is hand-crafted by artisans working in the age-old tradition of China's Fujian Province, known worldwide for its dazzling lacquer-ware and wood carving.
Built with Philippine mahogany and elm wood, these oriental barrels feature an indigenous Fujian lacquering style which uses seven carefully polished layers of lacquer-tree sap to create a complex, beautiful, and sturdy surface; each piece is then antique-finished for a gorgeous authentic look. The resulting surface has a matte finish, uncommon among Chinese lacquer furniture, which is usually quite brilliant.
These oriental jewelry boxes are based on traditional designs steeped in ancient Asian history, and exhibit many common natural and cultural motifs, often adapted from ancient and beloved Asian art. Because of Fujian's proximity to Japan, many of these designs show a Japanese influence. For instance, many of these pieces depict a geisha, a celebrated symbol of Japan. Other motifs include birds, animals, and flowers, all of which are meaningful in Buddhist and Confucian-influenced cultures. The painted panels also often include lines of calligraphy and red seals; these have often traditionally been included in Chinese paintings, and many tell stories or poems, adding a lyrical element to the simple beauty of the artwork.
