Vintage Shanxi Red Painted Chest
$750.00
A stunning vintage Shanxi red lacquer chest. The vivid cinnabar red — the colour of celebration and good fortune — sets the stage for a beautifully painted 博古图 (bógǔ tú), a classic scholar’s antiques composition. The front of the chest is red while the sides are green.
The paintings depict what many families hold dear: peonies for wealth and prosperity, lotus for purity, stacked books and writing brushes for scholarly success, and abundant vessels overflowing with blessings. Together they carry a timeless wish — may this household enjoy wealth, scholarly success, many children, and a life of refinement.
Dimensions: L85 x D48 x H66cm.
