A LOVELY ANTIQUE JAPANESE CHINOISERIE MONEY BOX WHICH IS MADE OF PAPIER MACHE WITH A BLACK LACQUER FINISH AND HAS BEEN BEAUTIFULLY HAND PAINTED ON THE LID WITH A JAPANESE GARDEN SCENE USING GOLD GILT AND OILS.
THIS PARTICULAR BOX IS ONE OF THE OLDER PIECES WHICH I BELIEVE DATES TO AROUND THE LATE 19th CENTURY OR VERY EARLY 20th CENTURY AND IT IS QUITE RARE TO SEE THEM IN THE FORM OF A MONEY BOX.
IT COMES WITH A GOOD WORKING LOCK AND KEY WHICH FUNCTIONS WELL AND LOCKS AND UNLOCKS ...THE BOX EASILY. THE LID IS A GOOD FIT WITH AN INTEGRATED HINGE WHICH IS SAFE AND SECURE AND OPENS UP TO A NICE CLEAN INTERIOR.
ON THE WHOLE THIS MONEY BOX IS IN A GOOD CONDITION FOR ITS AGE WITH FAIR WEAR AND TEAR PLUS COMMENSURATE MARKINGS. THE HAND PAINTED DECORATION HAS FADED A LITTLE WITH AGE AS OFTEN HAPPENS BUT AS YOU CAN SEE IT IS STILL CLEAR ENOUGH TO MAKE OUT THE DESIGN.
A LOVELY ANTIQUE PIECE FOR ANY COLLECTORS OF MONEY BOXES OR OLD JAPANESE BOXES WHICH WAS ONCE PART OF MY OWN COLLECTION.
