Imagine the delight of opening this mysterious, black box to find it filled with roasted nuts and decadent sweets. Unusual for its curved, fan-like shape, the 19th-century wooden box would have once been filled with popular Chinese snacks and presented as a gift to an honored friend. Cloaked in a layer of beautifully aged black lacquer, the box is comprised nine small compartments perfect for storing jewelry or small precious objects.
