ANTIQUE JAPANESE LAQUERD PAPER BOX WITH MARRAGE ROCKS IN GOLD ON RED

Description

This is an antique Japanese paper
lacquered
box originally used as a storage box for hair
ornaments such as combs and hair pins
.
This box appears to be made
of paper which has been
lacquered to create an ultra-light ridged box
. The top is rounded and has a hole in the sides for a flat silk chord.
Covered
in over 20 coats of brown
lacquer with all sides straight and true
this box remains in
acceptable
condition.
It
measures 8 1/2" wide by 3 1/2" tall by 1
" deep
(21.5 x 9 x 2.5 cm). A cool accent for your home or office. Great to hold any
treasures that need a good home. The box has chips on the corners as well as well as separations due to the papers expanding and contracting over time and scratches appropriate for its age (see pics 4 and 5).
