King of Fragrance Marble Business Card Holder

**Design Concept** The orchid blooms in a secluded valley, its fragrance unfailing even in solitude, not for ostentation but for its inherent elegance. Revered by Confucius as the "king of fragrances," it was said to be "most fitting for a scholar's desk," thus symbolizing the integrity of the literati. Taking the orchid as the central theme, this design merges the essence of traditional Chinese painting with the unique marble from Hualien, creating a modern study accessory. It inspires a pursuit of knowledge not for others, but for oneself, to enrich one's understanding and become a true scholar. **Chan Hua (Flower Wrapping) Craftsmanship** Chan Hua, a traditional Taiwanese women's handicraft, utilizes wire, paper, and silk threads as primary materials. These are intricately wound and shaped to form floral designs. In recent years, this craft has faced the risk of extinction. Therefore, "Pin Hua Xue" is dedicated to developing exquisite accessories and contemporary home decor to foster the future of traditional handicraft. In traditional Chinese painting, the "Plum Blossom," "Orchid," "Chrysanthemum," and "Bamboo" are known as the Four Noble Gentlemen, symbolizing the character and integrity of the literati. Among these, the orchid represents "seclusion" – blooming in a hidden valley, its beauty not dependent on an audience. Inspired by this secluded orchid and the classic ink wash painting "Orchid and Rock," this piece meticulously hand-wraps delicate petals to capture the vibrant posture of a blossoming flower. **Marble Craftsmanship** Taiwan, an island formed by the uplift of the Pacific continental shelf, is rich in mineral resources, with the Hualien region in the east being a primary source. The locally abundant "Heping White" marble features natural, flowing patterns of black and white. This work integrates Hualien's marble craftsmanship with the form of traditional inkstones favored by scholars. The natural veins of deep black and light white marble evoke the visual flow of ink, while the concepts of "brush" and "paper" are incorporated. Through varied groove designs, the product gains practical versatility. **Dimensions** Business card holder M: 145x115x100mm Business card holder L: 160x115x105mm **International Shipping Notice** International shipping costs vary depending on quantity and region.
