The interior is lined in green woven fabric with a shelved upper section and a divided lower compartment — practical for bracelets, necklaces, or small jewellery sets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe brass fittings are the standout feature here: thick engraved plates at every corner, two large decorative clasps on the doors, and a bar-lock closure across the top. The piece opens as a cabinet rather than a hinged lid, which gives access to the full height of the interior at once.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt needs attention before display or use — the structure is loose overall and one door hinge has detached. With basic repair and a clean, it would read well on a bedroom dressing table or a display shelf. Best approached as an upcycle project by a buyer who appreciates the hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: Jewellery cabinet (double-door)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEra: Mid-century (traditional Chinese style; circa 1940s–1960s estimated)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Lacquered wood, cast brass fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterior: Green woven fabric lining, upper shelf and lower divided compartment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompartments: Upper open shelf, lower section with 3 divisions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: 27 × 23 × 13 cm (item)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMechanism: Bar-lock closure, butterfly clasp doors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMarked: No visible maker's mark\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: Fair — see below\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFair · Structure loose and flimsy overall; one door hinge detached and requires reattachment; lacquer worn and scratched across exterior surfaces; interior lining intact.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Rare Room","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53897070412113,"sku":"RR-0240","price":25.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0846\/6667\/9633\/files\/2026-05-28_19.35.57.jpg?v=1779994802","url":"https:\/\/therareroom.co.uk\/products\/vintage-chinese-wooden-jewellery-cabinet-brass-fittings-dark-lacquer-double-door","provider":"The Rare Room","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
