antique Chinese red lacquered wood child's convertible bathtub and seat, dating to the Qing era, around 1900.
This piece was designed to serve as both a low "highchair" and a bathtub for children.
It features an oval, staved wood plank body with a vibrant red lacquer finish, and a clear coat.
The design includes a higher back than the front and horn-like elements on the sides, which likely aided in getting in and out.
It has a removable tray and a removable platform inside, allowing for easy conversion between its functions as a seat and a bathtub.
The front is adorned with large gilt Chinese characters that translate to "Longevity" and "Prosperity," emphasizing the auspicious nature of the traditionally lucky red color.
