(6)Provenance: An Asian private collection. Weisbrod Chinese Art, New York, 1990s-early 2000s. Michael B. Weisbrod is a noted scholar of Chinese art, who has published extensively on the subject over a time span of more than 50 years. In 1972, Michael joined his father Dr. Gerald Weisbrod's Asian art gallery in Toronto, Canada. The father-and-son team opened their New York location on Madison Avenue in 1977, and during the next 45 years the gallery held a significant number of exhibitions, selling to museums and private collectors across the globe, eventually adding further locations in Shanghai and Hong Kong. Condition: Superb condition overall for lacquerware of approximately 2,000 years of age, with expected ancient wear and weathering. Minor warping and tiny nicks are present. Two boxes show a few light age cracks, and the square box exhibits some losses to the cover, with minor repairs. The silver alloy embellishments display expected tarnish.Weight: 109 g (total) Dimensions: Lengths 3.4-13.2 cmDuring the Warring States period and the Han dynasty, lacquer was primarily used to create painted surfaces for coffins, cosmetic boxes, musical instruments, and food vessels. In the Han dynasty, decoration evolved toward a more fluid, linear style that reflected the natural movement of brush painting, with sinuous lines interpreted as cloud motifs and stylized landscapes. Lacquer was also believed to possess magical properties and to function as an elixir of immortality, a belief that likely contributed to its widespread popularity during this period.Literature comparison: Compare a closely related larger painted lacquer box and cover with silver inlay, dated to the Han dynasty, circa 2nd-3rd century, 21 cm diameter, in the British Museum, registration number 1940,0605.1.
