A Japanese Meiji Period Gold Lacquered Box Decorated with Cranes

A small Japanese late Meiji period lacquered box, which is a fine example in really lovely condition with almost no signs of wear or use.

The exterior sides are finished in plain rich gold lacquer, with the top beautifully decorated with hand painted raised lacquer in two tone gold, red, black and silver with a view of two cranes standing in shallow water with feathery foliage and reeds in the background.

The underside and the exterior of the box are finished in contrast with a speckled orange bronze metallic lacquer.

This small box is in very good condition with only the slightest signs of wear to some of the corner edges.

Japanese, circa 1910

Height 4.5cm x width 6.5cm x depth 7.5 cm

After forty years of shop keeping and maintaining beautiful showrooms, which have been regularly open six days a week, Robert and Wendy have now taken a slightly different approach to their business. Having sold their retail premises, the antique business is now fully online. The picture framing service has ceased to operate because of moving online.

Customers can rest assured that the long-established dealership is continuing to run in an exceedingly professional way, selling genuine and high-quality items which are guaranteed to please the most discerning collector, decorator or homeowner.

All items will be personally hand packaged to a high standard. Small items are extensively wrapped using the best materials and are often double boxed. Items are then shipped with DHL or Royal Mail fully insured and often with next day delivery. Larger items would be personally delivered or sent with a specialist antique delivery firm, or for outside the U.K, a professional shipping company.

Please enjoy viewing their collection of rare and interesting pieces and have the assurance that Robert and Wendy will do their utmost to make sure your experience is exceptional, as has been recognised by many customers who have bought with confidence regularly over the years.
