Antique Japanese Sewing Box — 1920s, Taisho Era (SKU: 25M-364)

Carved Blooms of a Craftswoman’s World

This elegant sewing box from the Taisho era is a graceful tribute to both utility and artistry. With two spacious drawers richly carved in floral relief, it echoes the quiet diligence of generations of Japanese women who once stored needles, threads, and fabric swatches inside. Each petal and leaf carved into the front tells a story of patience, domestic harmony, and refined craftsmanship.

The warm reddish-brown lacquer and floral motif suggest a chrysanthemum-inspired design — symbolizing longevity and rejuvenation. More than just a chest, this piece serves as a decorative focal point or keepsake box, ideal for storing personal treasures or honoring the delicate artistry of everyday life.
