$120.00
Brand Etsy
This is an antique French lacquered box featuring decoration on its lid in the Japonaiserie style. The scene is of a rickshaw with driver and passenger, a geisha as viewed from the back, a running cat and a bird, I think a crane, flying overhead. Depos (registered) is written at the lower right with the makers initials next to it. The front of the box reads Epingles dAcier (steel pins, which I take to be straight pins). The box measures 3 1/2 by 2 1/2 by 1 in height. It is in very good condition with slight wear to the gold decoration, very minor - otherwise, just needs a little bit of cleaning to the interior.
Lovely little box - nice display piece to keep small trinkets in..
