Calligraphy Box - Chinese

This item has been purchased.

Description 🔉

We are offering this beautiful Chinese Calligraphy Box. These boxes were traditionally used by scholars and artists for storing calligraphy brushes and pens. Traditionally they are wooden, lacquered and frequently inlaid, although occasionally, they may be made from precious materials, befitting the status or indeed experience/knowledge of the owner.

PLEASE NOTE, the pens shown inside the box ARE NOT FOR SALE. They are present as a 'prop' to improve an understanding of the use of the box, but because they are made from Asian Ivory THEY CANNOT BE SOLD, because of the Ban on the sale of Ivory in the United Kingdom.

Note:
Abbott Antiques is a small business selling antique and collectable quality items at affordable prices. We specialise in Curiosities, Religious pieces, Items of Provenance, miniature, rare and interesting items, although as a general dealer we sell a variety of items. Our belief is to encourage people in their collecting. We have many years of experience, having traded from our shop, various Antique Centres in Norfolk, selling both to local and international collectors and dealers. We offer also a 'finding service' and undertake research, at no extra cost. Personally, we collect little, although we are very fond of automata, having a small collection of such items.
