 This beautifully laquered cabinet was originally given as a gift to the bride so she could store
her most intimate apparel within. The handcrafted brass butterfly is a symbol of long life and
prosperity. From the south of China, these cabinets were often made from Tongwood as these
trees thrived in the moist, warm climate. (Click on the images to see detail.)
