Rare 19th Century Chinoiserie Lacquer Boxes, Monogrammed 'DF', c. 1800

About the Item

Chinese-export monogrammed lacquerware is extremely rare and particularly sought after. The exquisite decoration of these lacquer boxes is simply superb, which makes them a true collector's piece. Such luxurious items were popular in England during the height of fashion for oriental exoticism, called chinoiserie in Europe. Available to order through best luxury goods retailers of the era, such exquisite items as lacquerware, botanical gouaches or reverse-painted glass, were manufactured in Canton to be shipped to Britain. Only the wealthiest and most powerful patrons could commission items, personalised with a monogram, or an armorial device, such as coat of arms, a crest, or a motto.
