About the Item
A 1930's French Gilt Lacquered Wood Pagoda Form Chinoiserie Platinum Painted Box, Attributed to Jansen. At first glance, the box's visual allure is simply breathtaking. Adorned with meticulous hand-carved and hand-painted details, this remarkable objet d'art boasts an enchanting theater scene that graces all four sides. The choice of platinum paint upon the dark black lacquered background adds an ethereal touch, casting a mesmerizing sheen and elevating the overall aesthetic. The theater scene unfolds upon a checkerboard stage, where a solitary figure takes center stage, surrounded by delicately crafted scrolls and flourishing foliate motifs. Further, the box's elegant form is elevated by the addition of gilt foo-dog head feet, which lend a sense of regality and balance to the composition. The box's architectural elements are nothing short of remarkable. An elevated pediment, adorned with resplendent gilt bells and delicate curls, gracefully ascends in multiple areas, culminating in a peak at the top finial. This architectural feat not only showcases the skill of the craftsman but also adds a sense of harmony and symmetry to the design. One of the most striking features of this extraordinary antique is the juxtaposition between the dark black lacquered background and the platinum-painted stage scene. The contrasting tones create a captivating interplay, drawing attention to the scene's platinum allure while accentuating the cream-colored roof and steps with their attached gilded ornamentation.
To complete its allure, the roof of the box serves a dual purpose: it acts as a lid, elegantly lifting on a hinge with a supporting bracket. This exceptional 19th-century French gilt lacquered wood pagoda form chinoiserie silver painted decorated large box is a testament to the artistry and sophistication of its time. Its striking combination of a dark black lacquered background, platinum-painted theater scene, and gilded embellishments create a visual symphony that captivates the eye.
