A French private collection
Sold at Sotheby’s Paris, 13 June 2012, lot 142
The cover is superbly carved through thick layers of cinnabar lacquer to depict a Daoist paradise with grand architectural complexes nestled among pine, wutong and peach trees, featuring immortals gathering in a fenced garden, some seated around a table with plates containing peaches, some playing musical instruments accompanied by attendants, a deer and a crane, all against an air, wave and diamond diaper-group. The sides of the box and cover are each carved with a band of luxuriant peony and chrysanthemum blossoms, the interiors and base applied with purplish-brown lacquer. The base is incised in needle near the rim with a Yongle vertical reign mark.
