Description

Antique Hand-Made Red Lacquer Chinese Covered Wedding Basket
A lovely antique Chinese red lacquer wedding basket/box made with individual panels cut by hand and bound together by bronze bands. The box has an elegant curved handle and painted decorations under its base.
Wedding rituals have a long history in ancient China—the most auspicious custom being the presentation of gifts representing the couple’s engagement, the groom’s promises to the bride’s family and the acceptance of the bride and groom into each other’s family. The red lacquer symbolized good luck and great fortune.
Sourced from an antique shop in Ascot, Berkshire, U.K., a county in southeast England where Windsor Castle, a residence of the British royal family, is located.
