Product description

Attractive Chinese-style wooden jewellery/trinket box featuring three carved green oval inlays on the lid, decorative brass corner plates and a front brass latch. The box has a warm, polished mahogany-tone finish and a red silk-style interior with ring slots and compartments. Uploader notes ‘jade & brass mountings’ and the warehouse recorded the inlays as carved stone (jade) — no maker marks were found in the supplied images.

This compact box is ideal for jewellery storage, a dressing table accent, retail display or a decorative gift box. Its fitted brass mounts and carved inlays make it a standout decorative piece for collectors of Asian-style boxes or anyone wanting a well-presented storage solution. The size is suitable for shelves or small drawers and it will suit a restorer, collector or buyer who values decorative detail.
