AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Vintage Chinese jewelry box made of wood and decorated with jade inlays and brass fittings.

Main features

Materials: The main body is wood (often rosewood or a similar wood stained a deep red-brown color). It features carved jade inlays and decorative brass hardware, including corner hinges, a drawer pull, and a padlock closure on the front.

Design: The design is typical of Chinese style, often mass-produced for export, particularly between the 1930s and 1970s. The structure reproduces a small cabinet with two upper doors and a lower drawer.

Symbolism: Jade has a deep cultural significance in China, where it is regarded as the "stone of heaven" and symbolizes virtue, protection, spiritual harmony, good fortune, and longevity.

Interiors: The inside of these jewelry boxes is lined with red silk or satin fabric, designed to protect the jewels and add a touch of luxury.
