Product code: Rare Antique Japanese Laquered online Collar Box Gold Bird Design + Collars Buttons
Step back in time with this stunning antique Japanese Collar Box, showcasing exquisite craftsmanship from the early 1900s. Crafted from black lacquered wood, this box features a beautiful Hand-painted bird and branches design in orange and gold. In the 19th century (around 1860), Collar Boxes served a practical purpose - keeping collars and cuffs clean when not in use. However, as mass production of clothing became prevalent, the need to separate collars and cuffs diminished, and by the 1930s, these boxes were no longer in production. This particular collar box is a remarkable find, as it includes the elusive lid to the internal center button box, a feature often missing from similar sets. Inside, you'll discover a treasure trove of history with four antique collars from iconic makers such as Parsons & Parsons (Boniface Rubber), Cluett, Peabody & Co (Arrow), and Earl & Wilson's Red-Man. Additionally, online a baggie of collar pins, possibly crafted from brass with mother-of-pearl or similar.
