Antique Japanese Bronze Repousse Box
This is an antique Japanese bronze trinket box, beautifully decorated with a repousse design. The box measures approximately 4.5” x 3.5” and showcases intricate detailing typical of Japanese metalwork. The repousse technique, where the design is raised in relief from the metal, creates a tactile and visually appealing surface. This box likely served as a container for small personal items or treasures, reflecting the artistry and craftsmanship of its era.
Condition and Collectibility
The box exhibits signs of age and wear consistent with its antique status. There may be minor imperfections, such as patina, small dents, or surface scratches, which contribute to its character and authenticity. This piece would be a desirable addition to a collection of Japanese art, antique boxes, or bronze objects, appealing to collectors who appreciate the beauty and history of traditional craftsmanship.
