The basic form of this three-tiered box with handle has remained unchanged for a thousand years. Used like the modern lunchbox, each tier of this portable stacking box would have been filled with food and carried around by the handle. Unlike elaborate designs used for ceremonial outings, this early 20th century example made from lacquered bamboo would have been used for travel or daily use. With a richly aged surface, this carrying box is wonderful as a storied decorative object or jewelry box.

What They're Saying

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.”
