Chinese Studded Lock Box, C. 1800

Description

A special place for storing jewelry and other treasures, this early 19th-century lock box was created by a skilled artisan in China's Jiangsu province. The box is minimally decorated to showcase the rich, swirling grain of the nanmu wood, an esteemed softwood found throughout China. Accented with simple hardware and several brass studs to protect the lid, this box is a beautiful storage piece for the office or bedroom.
