Black wooden tea box, measuring 12.5 x 12.5 x 12.5 cm

This elegant black lacquered wooden tea caddy, measuring 12.5 x 12.5 x 12.5 cm, is finely decorated with floral motifs and a bird perched on gilded branches, in a style reminiscent of traditional Asian art, perhaps Japanese or Chinese. On the front, it features a lock adorned with a silver metal frame with a scalloped pattern, although the key is missing. The whole exudes a refined and poetic charm, enhanced by the subtle contrast between the glossy black background and the delicate gilded details, making this box a beautiful decorative or collector's item.
