A striking pair of vintage Asian clam shell-form trinket boxes finished in richly layered lacquer with warm shades of oxblood red, amber, black, and olive green. Their sculptural shell silhouette and hand-decorated finish evoke the look of traditional Japanese Wakasa lacquerware while remaining wonderfully versatile as decorative objects or small keepsake boxes.
The pair displays beautifully on a cocktail table, bookshelf, or vanity and is increasingly difficult to find together, making them an especially charming decorative accent.
Please zoom in on all photos and reach out with any questions happy to help.
