Lovely Chinese decorative box, constructed from red and black lacquer.The lid features intricate carvings of birds and foliage, a style consistent with late 19th-century Qing Dynasty craftsmanship.While often called cinnabar lacquer, similar items are sometimes crafted from painted resin or wood for modern reproductions. This box is 18 cm long, 13.5 cm wide and 6.5 cm tall, some minor scuffs due to age.
