Product Information
During the 18th century Qing Dynasty, the Qianlong Period was a prosperous time for arts and crafts in China. This Chinese circular box made from Huanghauli and burlwood is an excellent example of the fine and delicate furniture and objects made during the reign of the Qianlong emperor.

The combination of these two materials give the box an extraordinary level of elegance and intricacy that has yet to be found anywhere else in the world. Such exquisiteness has earned these boxes a prestigious place among Chinese collectibles, making them highly sought-after treasures with exceptional value – even centuries after they were first created.
