Small Japanese Marquetry Cabinet Yosegi Zaiku 19th Century

About the Item

Very beautiful Japanese jewelry cabinet in Yosegi-zaiku marquetry composed of six drawers. The whole is inlaid with geometrically shaped pieces of wood and decorated with motifs resembling kamon (clan or Japanese family weapons). The leg of the furniture is covered with a cork veneer. The technique of Yosegi zaiku marquetry appeared in Japan in the second half of the 19th century, and was used to decorate himitsu-bako secret boxes, but was also used to decorate many other handicrafts such as trays, jewelry, chests. This technique consists of cutting out different types of wood and assembling them, the differences in color make it possible to create patterns. This precious little cabinet dates from the second half of the Meiji 19th century, the beginning of the Meiji period.
