1800s Russian Lacquer Box Philosopher

About the Item

In this ad you get the chance to buy a beautiful hand-painted Russian lacquer box from the 1800s. It is cylindrical in shape, slightly curving inwards where box and lid meet. Hand-painted on the lid is the portrait of a philosopher who looks deeply sunken into thought. His facial expressions make you wonder if he might be in distress. Other than that the box is a saturated shiny black. This is a true rarity for your home. The object is in great condition and has neither been restored or modified. Measurements: Height: 4.1 cm Diameter: 11.9 cm.

  • Japanese Lacquered Tebako 'Box'
    Located in PARIS, FR
    Tebako box with three compartments in golden and nashi-ji lacquer, decorated with golden, red, and kirigane lacquer, golden persimmon tree leaves, among rocks. The compartments are of increasing size from the top. The decoration is in continuity. Persimmon has been cultivated in southern China for more than 2500 years and is believed to have been introduced to Japan in the 8th century. The veneer is a tree with very hard wood, similar to ebony. According to a legend, one specimen survived the atomic bombing of Nagasaki on August 9, 1945, close to the epicenter. It is therefore in Japan a symbol of strength and longevity. It is also the national fruit of the country. It is eaten as a traditional dish during New Year's Day celebrations. Tebako literally means "portable box...
