This oriental jewelry box, crafted in China during the 1950s, is made from wood and finished with a deep, glossy black lacquer. Its rectangular shape with clean, straight lines and a flat lid reflects the mid-century Asian decorative aesthetic. The lid is adorned with a detailed scene featuring three women in traditional attire, their robes inlaid with iridescent mother-of-pearl for a subtle luminous effect and tactile dimension. A gold illustration of a pavilion, surrounded by stylized foliage and red blossoms, completes the composition. The lustrous black lacquer provides a dramatic backdrop for a palette of grey, white, red, and gold. The construction is solid, with precise joinery and no visible external hardware, while the interior is lined with soft fabric to protect valuables. The condition is very good – only minor signs of wear and small chips along the edges, typical for items of this age. This box carries the voice of mid-20th-century Chinese tradition – the lacquered surface reflects light like a calm lake, while the hand-painted figures speak of daily life, festivity, and feminine grace. The ornamental pavilion and floral motifs evoke the atmosphere of distant Eastern gardens, where every detail held meaning and everyday objects were treated with the reverence of art. The refined simplicity of its form, paired with rich decoration, makes this piece
