Description:Shown is a beautiful Late Edo/Early Meiji Period Lacquer Storage Box. The Makie gold lacquer is in excellent condition and features scrolling vines, leaves and florals on a very dark black brown base lacquer. The box is futher detailed by black lacquered legs ending in chased brass hooves. The legs are fittted with holes which would have held a silk cord that originally was used to secure the lid and carry the box. All elements of the box are finely detailed. There a minor loss to an underside support and there is an inside (only) minor crack to the lid.** All of the original highly chased brass elements are present, with the exception of one diamond fitting on one leg (see photos No. 3), and in good condition.

**Please note: there is a flaw in the first photo of the lid at the bottom left. The actual lid is in perfect condition.
