Description

A divided hardwood chest featuring brass lion-head ring handles and containing an assortment of Chinese and Japanese decorative objects. The collection includes a Japanese Geisha doll wearing a yellow and orange silk kimono with maple leaf motifs, mounted on a black lacquered base. Included are several sets of Baoding balls: one polished steel pair in a green fabric box, one gold pair with etched celestial designs accompanied by a printed instructional pamphlet titled CHINESE EXERCISE BALLS, and one pair of blue cloisonne enamel balls decorated with red and gold phoenix motifs in a black floral box. The lot also contains three calligraphy brushes with white handles painted with figures in a green fabric case, a set of dark wooden chopsticks in a purple silk sleeve, and a blue and white porcelain lidded box with a dragon motif. Additional items include two black composition replicas of terracotta warriors, a hand-painted miniature rickshaw, and a yellow lidded box with a green top depicting a geisha near a pagoda. The wooden chest features internal dividers and a small dark wood-grain finish. A horizontal ruler present shows the text SINGER and MADE IN ENGLAND.
