Formed around a simple wooden frame, this papier-mâché storage box is a delightful example of Chinese folk art. Crafted with old newspapers and dyed rice paper, the box would have been used for basic household storage. Delicate black papercuts decorate box with a pattern of flowers, dotted with coins for prosperity and butterflies for happiness.

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.”
