Chinese Wood Display Box

Square, clear-sided and set on a lacy pierced base with little legs.

This glass, wood and fabric display box is from China, and is contemporary. Wood is a common choice for the frame of a box because it is easy to cut and join, and it can be finished in a wide range of ways. A tall display cabinet with slim dark frame members and clear panes on every side. The floor is padded in pale yellow, and the base has scrolling openwork and four short feet. It is 5 inches long, 5 deep and 7.5 high.

Plenty of room for something precious, and a pretty skirt.
