Trinket Box, repousse with fine detailed Chrysanthemum motifs

A very dainty, silvery box, with fine detailed Chrysanthemum repousse decoration.

On the exterior, it is beautifully decorated with several Chrysanthemum flowers. On the sides of the box, the repousse depicts a turbulent sea with several sparrows flying above them. The whole piece is so intricately decorated. It really shows the skill of the craftsman who made it.

"The Chrysanthemum or Kiku in Japan is a symbol that represents longevity and rejuvenation. When first introduced to Japan the Japanese Royal family was fascinated with the flower and it became the Imperial Family Emblem."

The interior of the box is lined in the base with wood. The wood is in good condition.

The base is quite scuffed and scratched which does indicate that the piece has some age. The base bears some sort of mark but has already faded due to age.

The exterior of the box is in very good condition, but key is missing. However the hinge is broken and the box lid is separate to the base. However the box is still a very beautiful and decorative item.

Content: a little tray with 6 small cups, perhaps for drinking wine. The tray and the cups are all repousse with dragon motifs.

Measurement: appr. 8.5" (L) x 5.5" (W) x 2" (H).
Weight: almost 2.5 kilo.

Price is negotiable!
