Chinese Bride's Jewel Box A
China#A-62
Ancient Chinese tradition has always associated red with luck and good fortune. Naturally things connected with weddings should be as auspicious as possible, and jewelry boxes for a bride are usually red. This early 1900's bridal jewelry box has a pierced stand for a mirror on top, with motifs of a Taoist immortal riding a fantastical beast and phoenixes - all lucky symbols that have long been part of Chinese culture.
