A vintage lacquer box defined by its striking contrast — deep black exterior against a rich vermilion interior.
The lid is adorned with a delicate floral composition of white daisies and a butterfly, rendered in fine detail against the glossy lacquer ground. The elongated form gives it a sculptural, almost architectural presence, making it as much a display object as a functional one. The interior reveals a saturated red lacquer finish, a classic pairing with black that enhances depth and visual drama.
Part of mid-century Japanese export lacquerware, the piece reflects a period where traditional decorative techniques were adapted for Western interiors — balancing refinement with accessibility.
Perfect for storing small objects, jewelry, or as a statement accent on a shelf or console.
Details:
Era: Circa 1950s–1970s
Material: Lacquered wood or composite
Condition: Visible surface wear, scratches, and interior marks consistent with age
Dimensions: 12 × 3.5 × 1.5 inches
