Khmer betel box
Very fine old Cambodian red and black lacquered betel box constructed of wood with carved bamboo trim. Crack in the lid but no restoration (possibly the rim of the lid has been repainted as the color is a brighter red than the rest of the body). Any lacquer coming from Southeast Asia with no signs of use is a strong indicator that it’s new. Please view previous listings on my site of Cambodian lacquer for more insight and personal musings into this craft. Circa 50 to 60 years old. D: 22cm/8.6in and H: 11cm/4.4in. I have around 12 pieces of old Khmer lacquer, anyone interested in buying the entire collection feel free to contact me.
