The history behind this beautiful box is quite interesting to say the least. Long ago in China when families did not feel the need to bolt their doors, they would conceal vital papers in these sort of boxes. It was even used by men who went out to sea as an area to rest their head at due to the fact that the top of the box is curved in. They could also conceal significant items in it as well. Now when you think about it, that is absolutely perfect. You could hide vital items inside the box and then sleep with it at night and nobody would think twice about something being inside of it. More importantly, nobody would be able to steal anything if you are asleep on it.
This China Treasures Opium Pillow is a fascinating and beautiful piece to add to your lovely home. If you enjoy collecting antiques and want a feel for anything of The Orient, then this stunning box is definitely something for you to have. It is decorated with a dominant character in Chinese culture which is that of the Chinese dragon. It represents strength and authority that is positive. The inside of the China Treasures Opium Pillow itself is that of Chinese paper. It is almost 11 inches in length and 4 inches width which makes it a great size for traveling. Women nowadays (with the large purses in all) can travel with it in their handbags. You can bring it anywhere with you. The current price of the China Treasures Opium Pillow is P2, 495.00 or in dollars for a low price of $55.00. It is inexpensive enough as well as stunning to look at that you can purchase it as a gift for that family member or friend who loves antiques. It is also great for a little girl to have to put her trinkets in.
