Japanese Meiji Period Tobacco Boxes Lacquer

Mantiques Modern

A fine pair of Japanese tobacco boxes, each in carved wood with wonderful painted lacquer surfaces, made during the Meiji period. The larger box depicts a furrowed man, vibrantly carved and painted, while the smaller box depicts a two-faced man -- expertly carved showing two contrasting emotions. These rare and stunning boxes will be a perfect historical accent for any home.
