Fascinating Japanese Iron and Enamel Box

19th century
Description

As part of our Japanese works of art collection we are delighted to offer this most interesting Meiji Period (1868-1912) damascened iron lidded table box. The unusual scene on the lid of this box plays out a Noh drama upon a theatre stage, the characters finely decorated in mixed alloys perform to a backdrop of vibrant turquoise enamel pine trees upon silver, a bridge from the stage draws you to a further enamel coloured curtain in the distance. The exterior of this heavy iron box is carved and further decorated with damascened gold clouds interspersed with mixed gold decorated pine saplings, the underside scattered with abstract two colour gold decoration beside the artists seal. Removing the lid reveals a further surprise, the shakudo interior is decorated with a band of musicians likely playing out Noh songs for the actors on the stage, this panel artist signed Noriaki, a most unusual fine quality lidded box to add to your Japanese metalwork collection.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.
