A beautiful vintage Japanese Yosegi-Zaiku box, showcasing the traditional art of intricate geometric wood marquetry. This handcrafted box features a variety of interwoven patterns using natural wood tones to create a striking mosaic effect. The box includes a hinged lid with an interior mirror, a red-lined upper compartment, and a slide-out lower drawer for additional storage.
Yosegi-Zaiku, a craft originating from Hakone, Japan, is renowned for its precision and artistry, making this box not only functional but also a piece of art. Its versatile design is ideal for storing jewelry, keepsakes, or other small treasures.
Estimated Age: Mid-20th century. No makers mark; it could be a more recent copy, but quality is extremely high.
Notes: Structure: Excellent overall condition with no visible cracks or major damage. Exterior: The marquetry design is well-preserved with minor wear on edges consistent with age. Interior: Red felt lining in the upper compartment shows minimal signs of use. The mirror is slightly fogged, typical for its age. Drawer: Fully functional and clean, slides smoothly.
