With their comparable layout and abstracted leaf decoration, the chair and slide-lid box illustrated here demonstrate a similar mode of decoration. Both the crestrail of the chair and panels of the slide-lid box have been treated as individual tablet forms on which have been superimposed an astragal outline with infilled decoration. In addition to its overarching astragal framework, the layout of decorative leaves follows a consistently crossed pattern, from the crossed stars of the short panel of the box, to the triple crossed leaves of the front seatrail of the chair. Likewise, the yellow outset leaves of the box and flanking green leaves of the flowers on the crestrail have been executed in a comparable tapering fashion with slight undulation at the mid-point. The similarities of these design elements suggests at least a regional preference or characteristic pattern, and at most possibly a single craftsman or decorator's hand at work.
