Late 19th Century Group of Japanned Papier-mâché Crumb Trays

Japanese lacquered papier-mâché crumb sweeper with matching brush, Japan, 19th century. An elegant table set comprising a crumb sweeper and matching brush, crafted from black lacquered papier-mâché and richly decorated with Japanese scenes in gold tones. The decoration depicts stylized figures, horsemen, and landscapes, executed using a traditional technique inspired by Oriental lacquer. Highly prized at the end of the 19th century amidst the European craze for Japonisme, these table accessories combine decorative refinement with domestic use. The curved brush, adorned with the same decoration, harmoniously completes the set.
