A fine antique late 19th C Japanese (Meiji period) red lacquered sewing box, with beautiful hand-drawn decoration of birds on the lid. The hinges are in good condition, and the lid opens to reveal the true treasure of this box; the beautiful blue partitioned interior, with hand-drawn daisies and hand-applied fabric flowers in the corner. It is a true work of art inside that needs to be seen to be appreciated. There are a few patches of loss to the fabric inside (see pictures); the exterior is in in excellent condition (a few chips to corners). There is a lock on the front, but I do not have a key for it. The box measures 22cm by 15.5cm by 8.5cm.
