Antique Chinese Vanity Box with Carved White Jade Lid
Vanity Box with Carved Whit. Filigree craftsmanship adorned with stones. Oval vanity box with fitted lift-up cover, attached mirror under the lid, adorned with oval dome white jade, finely carved and polished. Box is in beautiful condition, mirror has signs of patina from age. This was a gift from my father's extensive art collection.
He was an art historian, author, university instructor and museum curator including MOMA - New York, The DeYoung Museum - San Francisco, The National Gallery of Australia - Canberra, and The Norton Simon Museum - Pasadena. I'm not sure where or when he acquired the box, only that it has been in collection for a very long time.
