A very lovely antique matching pair of burgundy lacquer boxes with hand painted dragons in the clouds on each lid.
The larger box measures 4 7/8" long, 3 1/2" wide & 2 1/8" deep. The smaller box is 4 3/8" long, 3" wide & 1 3/4" deep. The smaller box fits perfectly inside the larger.
The lacquer is quite good, especially considering their age. On the large box the lid has some wear on one corner & edge & minor wear on base at corners. The smaller box is basically in very good condition with some minor wear along one bottom edge.
The dragons are 5 clawed & typically in the clouds with the flaming pearl. They are hand painted in gold, silver & red.
The boxes are from the collection of Col. Donald Davis, U. S. Army (Ret'd.), former child movie star in the old Mack Sennett movies under the names of John Henry, Jr. & Don Morris. Col. Davis lived the Orient after WW II, has traveled or lived throughout the world, collecting many beautiful & interesting items. At 87, Col. Davis is still very active & still collecting!
Thank you for shoppng at The Treasure Chest.(Item ID:A-19-DD) |
