Canton Export Black Lacquer Sewing Box - Qing Dynasty
This gilt black lacquer Chinese Export sewing box is in excellent condition. Work boxes like these weres made in Canton for export to wealthy members of the British Georgian & American upper class in the Qing dynasty between 18th and early 20th centuries. This particular form of work box was made in the early 19th century when Chinoiserie was all the rage.
Decorated in delicate gilt and black lacquer, is made in the typical form with brass swan neck handles. It comes complete with original contents, a removable inner compartment, and front sliding drawer. One of the bone spindles is inscribed with the name 'THOMAS', likely the first or surname of the original owner.
These pieces are fragile pieces of history and are usually found damaged especially the tops, however, the condition of this piece is outstanding. This sewing box has been checked over in our workshop and small restorations made to stop the aging process.
Export jewelry cabinets, games boxes & tea caddies were also made.
