retailer This is a lovely vintage Chinese silk embroidered circular sewing or trinket box. The lid of the box is padded and is beautifully embroidered and decorated with two figures with fans on a bridge amongst lotus flowers and prunus against a black background. The colours of the embroidery threads are still bright in colour.
This lovely box has been well used and so some of the background black threads are in a fragile condition so this is a box to treasure and to admire rather than to use. The interior of the box is lined in turquoise silk which is in good condition.
The base of the box looks like it is constructed from a type of papier mache and is in good condition. The base contains a fragment of a blue label which confirms the box was made in Hong Kong. This box would make a lovely addition to a collection of embroidered boxes and would be a beautiful addition to a decorative scheme.
This beautiful sewing box measures 22cm in diameter
