Large Vintage Asian Black Lacquer Box with Mother of Pearl Inlay & Calligraphy
This striking Asian black lacquer decorative box showcases exceptional artisan craftsmanship. Generously sized, the lid features a highly detailed mother-of-pearl inlay depicting a traditional still-life composition of late-blooming chrysanthemums in an elegant vase alongside stylized bronze-form vessels. Classical cursive calligraphy accents the upper right corner, celebrating resilience and the lingering fragrance of autumn.
The exterior borders are heavily detailed with iridescent geometric and floral diaper-pattern bands, complemented by scrolling floral vines and birds decorating the side facades. This versatile, substantial piece makes a sophisticated statement box for a coffee table, library shelf, or dresser.
Dimensions:Width: 14.5 × 11 × 5.5
There is minor chipping and light lacquer loss along the top rim edges of the lid, as well as a small spot blemish on the interior bottom surface, all consistent with age and typical use. The mother-of-pearl inlay work remains exceptionally vibrant, complete, and tightly intact.
