About Box House Antiques Ltd.

Box House Antiques was founded in 1957 by the late Mrs. L.R. Maas, working from home (a Sussex farmhouse). Her initial interests were in Dutch school paintings of the 17th and 18th centuries. One day an Elizabethan oak refectory table was brought into her gallery. The table was sold within 24 hours. Her interest in English period furniture developed, and within a short space of time pictures were being replaced by furniture. Our business grew very fast until it became clear that a new approach was required. At this time her son John decided that he wanted to become invo...Read More

Early-18th Century Red Japanned Corner Cabinet Cupboard
Located in Lymington, GB
An English early-eighteenth century red japanned bow-front corner cupboard, or cabinet, George II-period, circa 1730. In superb condition throughout. Retaining its original butterfly hinges, with a period key and working lock. These are usually encountered with a black background, however when in red these examples of japanning are much sought after. Many were produced domestically, often by talented female members of the family. Note the charming English interpretations in the decorated surfaces. An unusual subject can be seen in the base, a hunter on horseback with sword drawn, confronting a mythological beast, probably representing a tiger with mandarins posing amongst stylised pagodas, rooftops and rockwork. Chinoiserie-decorated surfaces were extremely popular in the early part of the 18th century, almost reaching a craze among the upper classes wishing to demonstrate their fashionable status. There were several revivals of chinoiserie particularly in the first quarter of the 20th century, so caution is advised in one’s collecting. This type of decoration is also sometimes erroneously referred to as ''lacquer’'. The fashion icon Coco Chanel furnished her exquisite Paris apartments largely in the European chinoiserie taste.
