An exquisite Chinese cloisonné enamel scholar’s box from the Qing-style tradition, rectangular in form with multiple compartments and richly decorated in polychrome enamel. The lid is divided into four panels, each featuring five-clawed imperial dragons chasing flaming pearls among clouds and waves — a motif symbolizing power, protection, and imperial blessing. Highlights include miniature bronze guardian lion figurines, an ink dish with matching dragon décor, and a petite censer or inkwell. The overall palette of black, turquoise, crimson, and gold underscores the piece’s majesty, making it a perfect centerpiece for collectors of scholarly antiques or Asian imperial furnishings.
