Protect your most valuable treasures in this sophisticated gold leaf and black lacquer decorative jewelry box. Genuine gold leaf is used in the intricately patterned, hand-etched designs, making this accent piece perfect for placement in your bedroom, living room, on a side table or in a display case. This beautiful rectangular box is handcrafted by talented artisans in the village of Baan Thawai, located in the historical Golden Triangle region of northern Thailand. The intricately detailed floral design that embellishes the outside of the box is a testimony to the artisan's expert craftmanship. Lacquerware from northern Thailand is well known to interior designers worldwide, and is acclaimed for some of the globe's finest craftsmanship techniques. Lacquerware is created by applying the black resin of the "Lak" tree onto smoothly carved wood to give it a fine finish. Each piece receives a seven-layer coat of lacquer to ensure a high standard of quality and undergoes a 2-month drying process to achieve a rich luster. Natural color pigments are used in the hand-painted designs. Measures 6 inches wide x 4 inches long x 2.5 inches high. AsiaEXP brings you authentic handcrafted goods from a variety of world cultures.
