About the Item

From our Japanese collection, we are delighted to introduce this Japanese Silver and Mixed Metals Box by Hidekuni. The Japanese Box of large rectangular form lined in a dark asian rosewood type hardwood mounted in Japanese pure silver with the pure silver Jungin mark to the base 純銀. The top of the Japanese Box is decorated with a large Shibuichi plaque finished in mixed metals with a large scene depicting a silver mount Fuji to the background and a small holding with thatched roof buildings and gold accents beside a lakeside with two boats docked on the bank and a large pine tree to the foreground. The Shibuichi plaque is signed to the lower right hand corner 秀邦刻, carved by Hidekuni. The interior of the Japanese Box is fitted with an adjustable partition for storing cigars. The Base of the Japanese Box is fitted with a silver plaque reading ” M.A.V Hansen in appreciation of his twenty years valuable services, Yokohama fire and marine insurance Co. Ltd. 1937 – Fortieth Anniversary.” The Japanese Silver and Mixed Metals Box by Hidekuni dates to the Meiji Period (1868-1912) and the turn of the 20th century and was later gifted in the Art Deco period as a retirement present.
