This large Chinese Qing style wedding basket dates from 1920 and takes an octagonal form constructed from dark brown lacquered wood, woven bamboo panels, and cane, complemented by bright brass hardware. The structure comprises a tall overhead bentwood handle with a carved decorative top grip, a removable top section with a fitted lid, and a lower cabinet enclosed by double doors with small drop handles. Black lacquer side panels display delicate gilt painted floral and scroll motifs, while textured dark mouldings accent the edges and tiers. The visible surfaces show traditional woven patterns in warm brown tones across the front doors and upper tier. Measuring 66 cm high, 41 cm wide, and 36 cm deep, this traditional storage piece works well displayed on top of a sideboard or credenza in a living room, dining room, or hallway. It provides practical enclosed storage while serving as a decorative focal point for contemporary interiors.

FAQs

Traditionally used during Chinese marriage ceremonies, these multi-tiered baskets carried gifts, food, and dowry items between families. They featured stacked compartments and a rigid overhead handle to facilitate transport.

These baskets were constructed using fine woven bamboo, split cane, and timber frames, often sealed with natural lacquer. Brass or iron fittings were attached to secure handles, hinges, and corner joints.

Authentic examples display hand-woven cane panel work, pegged timber joinery, natural lacquer finishes, and hand-painted gilt or polychrome decoration. Look for evidence of historical age, including natural metal oxidisation and light surface patina.

These vessels function well as visual focal points placed on sideboards, console tables, or floor displays. The dark stained bamboo and rich woven textures create effective contrast within neutral or eclectic decorative schemes.

Position the item in a stable indoor environment away from direct heat sources and sunlight to stop the bamboo drying out. Clean gently using a dry, soft microfibre cloth and avoid liquid cleaners or harsh polish.
