This antique lacquered stacking box set is unsigned, but presumed to have originated from China during the Early Republic period of approximately 1920 and done in a period Chinese Export style. The set is composed of a base and top and three interlocking containers or boxes, with tapered sides. The containers are composed of a softwood, with a deep black lacquered finish and hand crafted decoration.
