Description :

A striking set of seven Japanese Kiridame nesting boxes attributed to the late Meiji to early Taishō period (circa 1920s). Each box features a deep red lacquered wood finish with visible age patina and wear consistent with traditional craftsmanship. The boxes nest perfectly within one another, ranging in size from approximately 9.5" × 6.5" (smallest) to 15.25" × 12" × 15" (largest).

The lacquer retains its warm gloss and layered depth, showing subtle variations in tone from decades of use and preservation. This set exemplifies early‑20th‑century Japanese artistry—functional yet elegant, designed for storage or ceremonial presentation.
