Japanese Laquered Box with Hinged Lid hand painted, 19th Century Meiji Period
About the Item
This is a good papier mâché, rectangular shaped black lacquered lidded box, hand enamelled and gilded, made in Japan during the 19th century, early Meiji period.
This rectangular shaped papier mâché box has a well fitting hinged lid, with the box base and lid slightly domed. The box was probably originally made as a pocket box but could easily sit on a desk or dressing table as required.
This is a very decorative box with finely hand painted scenes of three people, one holding a parasol, in a garden setting, with a pagoda type building, large gate, fences, trees and flowers. The hand painting is well done, with fine detailed gilt work and white enamel to the heads and hands of the people, all set against a black base color with a lacquered finish.
The inside and base of the box and lid are all black lacquered.
This is a very decorative, finely hand painted piece and ideal as a gift.
