A unique pair of octagonal black and red lacquer wooden carriers measuring 28 high x 14 wide x 14 deep. Likely originating from Shanxi Province, these carriers feature intricate craftsmanship with arched frames, scroll legs, and carved detailing. One side is inscribed with a date, the 2nd year of Tongzi (1857), while the other bears a hallmark, Zhou Fu Yuan Tong, indicating a possible place of origin or association. The carriers were likely functional, potentially for holding objects such as oil containers used by a lamp lighter, though their exact purpose remains uncertain. Such inscriptions on utilitarian objects are uncommon, adding to their historical and cultural value. These pieces likely belonged to a preserved stately home, showcasing a glimpse into mid-19th-century craftsmanship.
