Lot 51: A Trio of Decorative Containers including a Cantilevered Wooden Box and Black Lacquered Vessels
A trio of decorative items comprising a dark wood cantilevered storage box and two black lacquered containers. The wooden box features two upper compartments with hinged lids, each decorated with a central carved geometric diamond motif and bordered by brass-toned metal inlays. The lids are connected to a lower base section via a metal pivoting mechanism allowing the compartments to be opened simultaneously. The two black lacquered items consist of a rectangular box and a circular lidded vessel, both featuring hand-painted floral arrangements and butterfly motifs in a palette of blue, pink, and white. The circular vessel is in the style of Chinese black enamelware with a gilded rim. Several white and orange auction identification stickers are adhered to the surfaces. No signatures, maker’s marks, or factory stamps are visible.
Condition report:

There is slight wear to the gilded edges. Several adhesive labels and residue from previous cataloguing are present. The cantilever mechanism on the wooden box is functional.
