AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Superb and rare cylindrical lacquered hat box from the late 19th-century Meiji period (Japan).

A piece of Japanese lacquered craftsmanship in natural lacquer in a deep brown-reddish tone revealing the grain work.

Originally designed to house and transport traditional headwear or hats, this two-part nested box. Its interior is lined with an elegant burgundy velvet lining.

Very good overall condition for a piece from the late 19th century. 32 cm high by 29 cm wide.

The lacquer has retained a beautiful shine with fine signs of wear on the edges and borders that add to its charm and attest to its age.

Ideal for collectors of antique Japanese objects or as an interior decor piece with a clean, timeless design.

Careful, secure shipping.
