Small Wardrobe Vase The subtly curved lid gives

The subtly curved lid gives this black lacquer trunk its name as well as its graceful lines

Known also in Chinese as 'Grand Tutor Chairs' (taishi yi)

The lacquer and paintings on this round box would once have been much brighter

Seen here in our stunning black lacquer and decorated with a traditional design in gold leaf showing flowers and animals

making it ideal as a bookshelf in a modern home or for displaying ornaments

Small Wardrobe Vase The subtly curved lid givesAlthough smaller than our other 'Contemporary Asian' wardrobe, this piece still has the same attractive tapered profile and panelled doors. The interior has a single removable shelf at the bottom and a wooden hanging rail. At around six foot tall is still a good sized wardrobe offering plenty of hanging space.
