These handsome Chinese cinnabar vases have stunning detail worked in deep relief to the red cinnabar lacquer.

These are in really nice original condition and are a good size measuring 28 cms high on the stands (25 vase only)

The vases are 10 cms square at the widest point and the mahogany bases measure 10 cms square.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Chinese cinnabar lacquerware is a decorative art form created by applying multiple thin layers of tree resin pigmented with vermilion, which are allowed to dry and are subsequently carved into relief patterns.

These vessels were built around a wooden, brass, or copper core, built up with dozens of layers of natural lacquer resin, and carved by hand with figural scenes, floral diaper patterns, and landscape motifs.

Authentic antique pieces display intricate hand carving with slight variations rather than uniform resin moulding, along with subtle signs of age wear and a solid core structure.

Positioning these vases as a symmetrical pair on a sideboard or mantelpiece creates a striking focal point when contrasted against neutral backgrounds or dark wooden furniture.

Keep lacquerware away from direct sunlight, radiators, and extreme moisture, and gently clean surface dust using a soft, dry camel-hair brush or microfibre cloth without liquid cleaners.
