This is a meticulously crafted suzuribako (writing box) from the late Edo period to the Meiji era. **Charm of the Work:** The surface is adorned with "fine floral maki-e" featuring chrysanthemums and autumn grasses densely painted in gold. Upon opening the lid, the interior reveals a luxurious "nashiji" (pear skin) finish, showcasing the high level of craftsmanship of the time. When light hits it, the gold dust inside sparkles beautifully, making it a very refined item. **Condition:** Due to its age (vintage), please be aware of the following: * There are signs of use, scratches, and soiling due to aging. * There are "paint cracks" and small chips characteristic of lacquer in places (see photos). * Although there are no seals or inscriptions, the design suggests a high-quality craft item from the period. * Please purchase only if you understand antiques and artifacts. **Size:** Body: Approximately 21.0cm x 25.3cm x 4.5cm **Accessories:** * Original box (kyobako) * The box has cracks and damage due to aging. Please consider it as protective material/documentation. #Maki-e #Nashiji #Edo #Suzuribako #Box #Antique
