In Chinese painting and calligraphy, there are different ways of storing brushes adequately. Whereas some brush depositories have purely functional value, this one is a piece of art by itself. A special carving technique is required to achieve the double-wall carving effect. The holder stands on 4 slightly protruding legs and can hold up to ten thinner brushes at the same time. We named it the "Orchid Pavilion" as a tribute to the famous calligraphy pieces of master calligrapher Wang Xizhi.
