Casket - Lacquered box with relief of a hunting scene. - Wood

Majestic antique lacquered chest with relief of a hunting scene.

This elegant and atmospheric tea chest or storage box is a beautiful example of the craftsmanship characteristic of the Asian export market from the late 19th or early 20th century. Made in the sought-after Canton style, it combines a deep black, glossy lacquer with detailed gold-colored decorations.
The lid and front are decorated with a vivid hunting or wildlife scene, depicting majestic deer and other forest creatures in a lush landscape. The technique, reminiscent of the Japanese maki-e style, creates a tangible relief that beautifully captures the light.
