Chinese Wood Display Box

A narrow, tall box of air with a carved scroll skirt at the bottom.

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. Slim rectangular case with a dark frame, clear panels, and a saffron-yellow floor. The lower rail is pierced with a delicate curling vine pattern, and the case stands on short square feet. It is 9.25 inches long, 9.25 deep and 14.5 high.

Plenty of upward room, and a very decorative hem.
