A finish of bright red lacquer and hand-painted decoration transform this simple wooden box into a fitting container for treasured objects. Dated to the early 20th century, the rectangular box is painted on the front with a mythical phoenix beside a cluster of peonies, a motif carrying blessings of wealth, rank, and good fortune. The painted character for double happiness furthers the well wishes, a decorative symbol for love and marital bliss.

Andrea Goldman | Andrea Goldman Design

“Over the years, I’ve incorporated many pieces from PAGODA RED into my designs. Not only can they balance new furnishings (and often new construction) by feeling more established, but the pieces emanate a sense of rich history, often leaving you wondering where they were in a previous life. These beautiful pieces carefully hand-selected by the team at PAGODA RED, coupled with their unbelievable customer service, make them a must-have for any home.”
