Japanese Iron Box by the Komai Company of Kyoto

1900 - 1920
Description

As part of our Japanese works of art collection we are delighted to offer this magnificent quality Meiji period 1868-1912 , damascened iron box by the highly regarded Komai company, the large and heavy box stands upon a pierced and shaped base that has been decorated with carp leaping amongst waves, the sides of the box are decorated with a multitude of ferns, grasses and flora, the lid is delightful and depicts a heavily onlaid mixed metal bijin stood against a fence, a ponderous expression upon her face, with a lakeside scene as the backdrop, the bijin is dressed in traditional highly decorative silk kimono with her hair tied impeccably, a flight of birds encircle the edge of the lid, the gilded interior further decorated with pavilions amidst a mountainous backdrop, whilst the underside of the box is decorated with phoenix amid flora and carries the gilt Komai signature seal, a seriously impressive box from the leading Meiji period maker of damascened iron wares.

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.
