This beautiful Japanese red lacquer rectangular shallow box was most likely made for writing paper and envelopes but could have a multitude of uses. It is finely carved with bold peony flowers and leaves on the lift off lid with some carved detail following through on the edges of the lower storage tray. Internally the box is finished in black lacquer. This decorative box has a fine patination and the outer red lacquer has worn through in places showing the black underneath which is very pleasing to the eye. In good condition, Circa 1910
