The brush was one of the Four Treasures of a scholar's studio, along with paper, ink, and an inkstone—each playing a part in the overall work. A scholar carefully chose this calligraphy brush with stiff and short horsehair bristles after appreciating both its form and function. The center of its body features hand-carved stacked barrels atop a slender handle well-suited to his personal grip.

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.”
