明十七世紀早期 剔紅描金編竹花卉紋委角方盒，內藏蓮瓣式托盤
Basketry of this type was popular during the mid to late Ming dynasty
and are usually seen with polychrome, gold painting, or mother-of-
pearl inlay. The present lot with carved lacquer, however, is one of
the rarer examples, executed with meticulous care and attention to
detail, particularly evident in the treatment of the birds and magnolia
branches. Compare a very similar example from the Metropolitan
Museum of Art, New York, illustrated by J.C.Y.Watt and B.B.Ford, East
Asian Lacquer: The Florence and Herbert Irving Collection, New York,
1991, no.64.
Compare another similar lacquer box and cover with basketweave
panels in the Cleveland Museum of Art which is dated to 1609,
illustrated by J.C.Y.Watts, The Sumptuous Basket: Chinese Lacquer
with Basketry Panels, New York, 1985, no.29.
Other related examples of lacquer basketweave boxes and covers,
from the Muwen Tang Collection, are illustrated by S.Kwan, Chinese
Lacquer, Hong Kong, 2010, pls.85-95.
