This finely crafted jade toggle is carved in the form of a child seated besides a lotus—a motif often used to symbolize a person’s wish for a son. Toggles were a standard part of Chinese clothing for centuries. They were attached to the ends of a bag’s drawstring, which men hung from their belts and used as storage.

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.”
