Condition Report

Green is one of the rarest japanning colours to be found, and only a very small number of workshops managed to produce pieces in these hues. The patterns for the decoration were often traced from Chinese or Japanese import china of the period.
The doors and sides of the cabinet are in green lacquer with polychrome decorations. In the foreground an official of the Emperor who arrives at the village and various characters who welcome him, in the background we can see a mountain landscape. Chrysanthemums and other flowers that decorate the sides. Foliate perforated hinges and gilded bronze closing plates that enclose the interior furniture in black lacquer with eleven drawers decorated in gold with representations of herons, other birds and floral motifs.
Console in gilded silver that supports the Cabinet, golden foliage ornaments and in the center the emblem of a crab.
