Formed around a simple wooden frame, this papier-mâché storage box is a delightful example of Chinese folk art. Crafted with old newspapers and dyed rice paper, the box would have been used for basic household storage. Delicate black papercuts decorate box with a pattern of flowers, dotted with coins for prosperity and butterflies for happiness.

What They're Saying

Elizabeth Krueger | Elizabeth Krueger Design

“PAGODA RED was extremely supportive in helping to pull accessory options together for the Lake Forest Showhouse. After providing them with details and our vision on how we were looking to finish our space, Laurene helped curate options that made it easy for us to edit and finalize. It's also no surprise that the unique pieces we used in our showhouse space were some of the first to sell.”
