Located in Auribeau sur Siagne, FR

A 19th-century Japanese wooden box with an elegant geometric shape, crafted using traditional Japanese decorative arts techniques.

The contrasts between the deep black, the golden tones, and the light accents attest to masterful craftsmanship. The antique patina, with subtle signs of age, enhances the authenticity and charm of this piece.
