Vintage Chinese Jewelry Box – Rosewood with Brass Fittings, Jade Inlay & Trident Imports Tag

This vintage Chinese jewelry box captures the allure of mid-century global trade and gift shop culture. Imported by Trident Imports and once sold for just $13.95, this little treasure box was part of the 1960s–70s wave of Asian artistry brought into American homes.

Crafted from dark hardwood with ornate brass mounts and lock plate, it features a polished jade inlay medallion on the lid. Inside, a vibrant red-and-gold silk brocade lining provides ring slots and a padded compartment, keeping your jewelry or keepsakes safe in style.

The original import label still clings to the base — a nostalgic detail that connects this box to the golden age of mid-century gift shops. Today, it stands not only as a functional jewelry case but also as a collectible piece of cultural history.
