Beautiful large late 19th century Chinese wedding box, c1890.
The box is heavy at 3.4kg, and is a pleasing eight sided shape with extensive decoration. The red lacquer base colour acts as a great contrast to the gold decoration which is carved in relief on the lid and features dragons and phoenix/mythical birds.
Overall condition is very good, there is an historic hairline crack on the lid but this is very minor and hardly noticeable.
Overall this is a highly decorative and functional antique which would display well in a modern or traditional setting.
