Large Chinese Wedding Box, Polychrome Wood, Early 20th Century

Large Chinese Wedding Box, polychrome wood, early 20th century

This object is typically a display bucket or traditional Chinese wedding box (often called a dowry box or makeup box) made of polychrome wood, with a varnished finish in shades of red and black, featuring hand-painted floral motifs (notably peony-like flowers). Its chiseled metal trim features a traditional clasp mechanism.

Based on the wood joinery, the patina of the lacquer, and the engraved brass hardware, this object most likely dates from the late Qing Dynasty (19th century) or the early Republican period (early 20th century).
