I really like these lacquer boxes for their unusal shape (square, oval and round being the norm) and the intrincate and minute brushwork of the painting. It is delicate and minimal at the same time to cumpliment modern and minimalist interiors.
I'm delighted with this gorgeous soapstone box. I have purchased several other items from Gulam in the past, and I love his work, but this box is so far my favorite. In fact, I love it so much that I've ordered a second one.
I bought a similar jewelry box from this artist for a friend a couple years ago and finally got one for myself! Actually I got two. They are absolutely beautiful and inspiring. I just have to find an honorable place to put them!
