Accessory Box ‘Chrysanthemums’

anonymous, c. 1910 - c. 1920

Flowering chrysanthemums are the main theme of this box. Bush clover glimmers in the background, while the sides are decorated with patrinia. This box too may have been an Imperial gift. However, since the chrysanthemums were already the main motif, it was probably considered superfluous to add the Imperial chrysanthemum crest.
