A small box with hinged lid and drawer, standing on a simple bracket base. The box is secured with brass fittings, including two pairs of campaign-style hinges, a simple lock, narrow braces at the upper and lower corners, and a wire pull on the drawer face. Lifting the lid reveals a framed mirror, which folds back into the box when the lid is shut.

A humble example of this form; in excellent condition.

Chinese, ca. 1800 

Dimensions: 9” X 6 ½”; 4 ¾” tall.

Price: $295
