Edo period gunsen

[MJS]

Dear all,

 

How about something unusual! I have for sale an edo period gunsen, which I bought at a Christie's auction many years ago. It has the original paper, with a red sun on a silver ground. The front is in excellent condition, see the first two pictures. The back side has a few small imperfections as shown on the third picture, but nothing one couldn't expect from an item such as this one. The lacquer work is in near perfect condition. The gunsen folds properly and easily.

 

Any questions? Please ask!

 

Asking price is €1250,-, which is essentially the price I paid plus inflation since the purchase .

 

Cheers,

 

Mark

Best,
