Handmade Lacquered Mango Wood Boxes (Pair), "Floral Octagons"
Sleek black lacquer is strewn with brilliant flowers, each one painted by hand. Nantana Sompamitre creates the floral gardens on a matched pair of octagonal boxes. She carves mango wood into the desired shape and coats it with lacquer. Once dried it is polished, and another coat is applied – up to twenty times – before as many six coats of pure lacquer finish the piece. The final layer is polished with powdered fired clay.

"Extremely delicate paintwork"
I really like these lacquer boxes for their unusal shape (square, oval and round being the norm) and the intrincate and minute brushwork of the painting. It is delicate and minimal at the same time to cumpliment modern and minimalist interiors.
Best Uses
- Bobonnière, decoration, to keep knick-knacks
