Handmade Mother Of Pearl & Black Lacquer Jewelry Box With Mirror - Chinese Dragon & Phoenix Design

Add a breathtaking Oriental accent to your decor and store your jewelry beautifully with this handcrafted jewelry box with Mother of Pearl inlay. The breathtaking image on the lid features an intricately hand-inlaid Mother of Pearl design of a phoenix and dragon facing each other. This scene illustrates a popular Chinese idiom "long feng cheng xiang" - "dragon and phoenix achieve success" - a yin-yang-like expression combining the opposing qualities of the male dragon with the female phoenix. The flower between them, also hand-inlaid Mother of Pearl, is a "mudanhua" or peony, the national flower of China. Beautiful hand-painted flourishes embellish the scene. This highly regarded image was popularized in the "Sanguo Yanyi," or "Romance of the Three Kingdoms," one of the four classic novels of China. Mother of Pearl diamonds and peonies adorn the sides of this outstanding creation. Plush crimson felt lines the inside of the box to keep your jewelry from being scratched, while the inner tray is divided into compartments to store a variety of jewelry. The inner tray is also removable, revealing a hidden chamber for additional precious items. The lid is secured with a sturdy brass clasp and comes with a convenient mirror attached on the inside to help you put on and adjust your jewelry. Constructed of highly polished basswood, this stunning jewelry box is sure to be a valued treasure years to come. Measures 8 inches wide x 5 inches long x 3 inches high.
