Lacquer Jewelry Box with Mother of Pearl Inlay, Felt Lining and Mirror

Embellish your decor and give your jewelry the care it deserves with this enthralling, handmade, Oriental lacquer jewelry box with Mother of Pearl inlay. The top of this stunning creation is adorned in hand-inlaid Mother of Pear with a traditional scene of a woman in her garden; note the wonderful detail of her dress and hair. The two dragon-like dogs positioned on either side of the latch, also rendered in Mother of Pearl inlay, are legendary "Qilin," protectors of treasure in ancient China. Delicately hand-painted embellishments include the garden grounds on the top of the box and a "Mudanhua" or tree peony, the national flower of China, on the convenient, wide drawer below the Qilin. Additional traditional designs also grace the sides in beautifully hand-inlaid Mother of Pearl, while decorative "lingzhi"-style brass hardware decorates each of the cabinet's corners. The lustrous base coat is created with multiple applications of lacquer. Raising the lid and opening the drawer reveals several compartments designed to keep your necklaces, bracelets and rings well-organized. The interior is lined with plush crimson felt to keep your jewelry from being scratched while a convenient mirror on the inside of the lid makes it easy to put on and adjust your jewelry. A specialized brass buckle and locking mechanism keep the lid securely closed. Handmade with only the finest materials, this wonderful creation is not only a work of art but a practical jewelry box and will be a treasured possession.
