Leather Wrap Chinese Jewellery
Box with Stand Up Mirror, also called the
Mirrored Jewellery Box, which are reproductions
of the classical style of Chinese jewellery boxes
of the 1800's.
These beautiful pieces are made of wood and
leather, using old traditional Chinese
techniques, which was developed 1200-1500 years
ago in the Tang Dynasty Era, and reproduced
today!
The leather is wrapped around the wood and bound
tightly so that the skin is smooth and perfectly
formed to the piece. Stylish brass fixtures and
handles complete the exterior. Inside the boxes
are lined with aged Chinese paper filled with
characters, adding to the authenticity and feel
of the products. A handy Glass Mirror that were
used to be made with clear polished brass before
Glass mirrors were invented in the lid makes it
perfect for cosmetics and jewellery.
In addition, the lids , front and sides of most
of boxes are painted with beautiful and
traditional Chinese paintings of golden
Butterflies, birds flying beyond flowers, or
golden dragonflies flying beyond lotus. In
Chinese culture, these represent luck and
happiness. Also, lacquer had put on to protect
the paintings and the whole box.
It embraces the artistry and craftsmanship of the
finest traditional Chinese art for all of the
gorgeous pieces. |
