Chinese Wood Display Box

A long shallow case that could display a scroll, a sword or a sandwich.

This glass, wood and fabric display box is from China, and is contemporary. A lining of fabric inside a box gives a soft background that sets off the objects it holds and protects their surfaces from scratches. A wide, low rectangular frame in reddish-brown with clear panels all round. An amber floor sits just above the base molding, which curls out into small feet at each end. It is 21 inches long, 7.75 deep and 10 high.

Plenty of horizontal ambition at a very modest height.
