AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Elegant Chinese-style jewellery box dating from the mid to late 20th century, beautifully crafted in wood with an attractive burl wood veneer and finished with a warm, high-gloss lacquer. The exterior is richly decorated with delicate black lacquer floral and vine motifs inspired by traditional Oriental decorative art, creating a refined and timeless appearance.
The interior is fully lined with an elegant deep red damask-patterned fabric, providing a luxurious contrast to the warm tones of the exterior while making the box ideal for storing jewellery, watches, precious keepsakes or other personal treasures. The engraved brass lock, decorative hinges and lid stay complete the piece with fine attention to detail.

The box remains in good vintage condition, showing only light signs of age and careful use, consistent with its period. Please refer to the photographs, which form an integral part of the description.
