About the Item

This exceptional mid-19th century Chinese Export sewing box is a stunning example of intricate craftsmanship and artistry. The large rectangular box is crafted from wood, finished in black lacquer, and adorned with elaborate gilt decorations. The exterior features detailed figural scenes and floral motifs, showcasing the high level of artistry associated with Chinese Export wares of the period. The hinged lid opens to reveal a beautifully fitted interior designed for sewing accouterments. It retains its original compartments and trays, likely intended to hold spools of thread, needles, and other tools, with delicate accents that mirror the exterior’s opulence. This piece, dating to around 1860, embodies the fusion of Eastern decorative traditions with Western functional design. Its impressive size, detailed giltwork, and historical significance make it a remarkable collector's item and a functional yet elegant decorative piece. Measures: 16" w x 11.25" d x 5" h
