Chinese Bride's Jewel Box B
China
#A-63
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 birds, flowers and phoenixes – all lucky symbols that have long been part of Chinese culture.
