Crafted from a gnarled tree root, this container once stored painting scrolls in a scholar’s studio. Popular during the Qing dynasty (1644–1911), such vessels were revered by the intelligentsia for their rustic, organic appearance, bringing to mind the romantic notion of an artist-scholar living amidst nature. This notion is taken one step further by its texture beckoning to be touched.

Elizabeth Krueger | Elizabeth Krueger Design

“PAGODA RED was extremely supportive in helping to pull accessory options together for the Lake Forest Showhouse. After providing them with details and our vision on how we were looking to finish our space, Laurene helped curate options that made it easy for us to edit and finalize. It's also no surprise that the unique pieces we used in our showhouse space were some of the first to sell.”
