Exceptional Antique Cinnabar and Brass Box - Late 19th/Early 20th Century
A superb collector's box in red cinnabar lacquer on a brass frame, an authentic piece steeped in history.
✨ Authenticity and Period:
This object has been authenticated and dates from the late 19th or very early 20th century. It is not a modern reproduction, but a genuine piece of Asian art from the period.
🎨 Sculpture Details:
The lid is adorned with a finely sculpted scene in high relief, depicting two figures in a traditional landscape (architecture, mountains, and vegetation) against a background of remarkably precise geometric patterns. The sides of the box feature exquisitely delicate openwork floral designs. The interior, finished in deep black lacquer, offers an elegant contrast to the brass edges and hinges.
📏 Dimensions:
Length: 15 cm
Depth: 10 cm
Height: 5 cm
💎 Condition and Patina:
The box is in very good condition. True to its history, it displays a little natural dust embedded in the fine details of the carving, which highlights its relief and attests to its age. I have chosen to leave it as is to preserve its vintage character and authentic patina. The future owner is free to decide how they wish to display it.
A rare piece, ideal for collectors of Far Eastern art or for enhancing an interior décor with a high-quality curiosity.
Carefully packaged for shipping.
