Chinese Wood Display Box

A long glass room with a blue carpet, waiting for a guest of honor.

This display box is from China, contemporary, in glass, wood and fabric. Glass-sided cases on low wooden stands have long been used in China to show off scrolls, carvings and treasured objects while keeping dust away. A slim reddish-brown wooden frame holds clear glass panels on all sides. The floor is lined in deep cobalt blue fabric. The base is edged with a carved molding and stands on short scrolled feet. It is 54.25 inches long, 9 deep and 14.75 high.

Anything placed inside will start behaving like an heirloom.
