A beautiful vintage papier-mâché lidded trinket box, finely crafted in the shape of a duck. This highly decorative piece features a glossy black lacquered finish, densely hand-painted with intricate, shimmering gold scrollwork and delicate floral motifs that wrap elegantly around the contours of the body.
The box splits neatly into two halves, with the top lifting away to reveal a smooth, black-lined interior compartment perfect for storing small keepsakes, jewellery, or vanity items. Combining traditional folk-art charm with a sophisticated aesthetic, this lightweight yet durable box showcases wonderful attention to detail in its fine gilt brushwork.
Dimensions: 9 x 16 x 7 cm
Condition: Good vintage condition. There is some cosmetic wear due to age, but the paintwork remains vibrant.
This piece would suit a cottage and farmhouse interior, adding a touch of classic warmth, or would suit anyone drawn to Eastern Asian style decor and vintage lacquerware.
