Asian Laquered Box with Lid Hand Painted Unicorn, Mid 20th Century
About the Item
This is a good papier mâché, rectangular shaped black lacquered lidded box, hand enamelled and gilded, made in Asia, possibly Japan during the mid 20th Century.
This rectangular shaped papier mâché box has a well fitting lid, with the box 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 The box was probably originally made as a pocket box but could easily sit on a desk or dressing table as required.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 a finely hand painted scene of a Unicorn in a garden setting with flowers. The hand painting is well done, with detailed gold gilt work, 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.
