About the Item
A 19th-century Japanese lacquered wooden box, finely decorated according to traditional Japanese craftsmanship. Rectangular in shape, it features a lacquer in deep red and dark brown tones, adorned with delicately painted floral motifs, likely inspired by chrysanthemums and symbolic plant compositions.
The subtly curved lid reveals a balanced decoration that plays on the contrasts between smooth surfaces and decorative patterns. Visible signs of use and wear attest to its age and enhance its authenticity. This box, both functional and decorative, elegantly illustrates the refinement of Japanese decorative arts from the late Edo or Meiji period, making it ideal for a collection or as a decorative object steeped in history.
