An exquisite antique Japanese urushi lacquer box dating from the late Meiji to early Taisho period (circa 1900–1920). The lid features a beautifully detailed, high-relief (takamaki-e) depiction of a golden pheasant perched among delicate floral flora. The scene is further elevated by an inset carved butterfly made of mother-of-pearl or bone inlay, providing a striking contrast against the dark, smoky metallic-gradient lacquer ground.Opening the box reveals a beautifully preserved, deep black gloss-lacquer interior with robust original brass hinges. Perfect as a sophisticated statement piece on a vanity, desk, or coffee table, this decorative box exemplifies traditional Japanese craftsmanship and organic artistry.
