For your consideration we have her a superb mid 19c Chinese deeply carved sandalwood jewelry box completely covered in scenes of Chinese daily life. This box was produced in Canton around the c1860s or 70s for export. This was a popular size and style box that was produced in China for 3 or 4 decades and are found with all levels of quality & carving technique. Actually I have several of these in my current inventory for sale so I chose this one because it most definately was made by a talented craftsman. The relief on the top of the lid is the deepest I have seen in one of these boxes being 1/2" deep and having at least (5) levels of carving giving a true 3-D appearance. The photos showed up in several color tones but the first photo is the closest true color tone and is very pleasing I assure you. The box with its carving and design will impress even the most particular buyer. Actually the carving is the same type and quality of the calling card cases of the same and even earlier periods. Condition is excellent with no chips, cracks, losses or restorations just very slight wear. Width 8" x Depth 6" x Height 5-1/4". I have talked this box up plenty enough, but if you do collect China Trade antiques or just great old boxes this would be a good one to own.
NOTE: Over the past 23 years I have been buying, selling and collecting Asian art and other high quality antiques and collectables. My main emphasis has been working with dealers, designers as well as a core group of serious collectors. About five years ago I decided to start offering some great items from the "Old China Trade" as well as good Japanese 18thc & 19thc antiques on ebay for auction. Not every item I offer will be from these two groups however I will only offer high quality pieces that will continually rise in value through the years to come while giving much enjoyment and satisfaction that other investments cannot provide. Good antiques definately deserve a place in ones financial portfolio. ***Please contact me with any questions, all questions will be answered within 24 hours. ***Buyers please allow up to 10 days for personal checks to clear through bank before shipping takes place. Insurance is optional but highly reccomended, totals will be figured at auctions end.
