Lacquer Snack Box Table

Filled with roasted melon seeds, dried fruit, and soybeans toasted with cinnamon, fennel, and other spices, an elegant snack box like this would have been presented as a gift to an honored friend. We’ve elevated this 19th-century box on a brass base to function as an occasional table. Coated in lacquer that has gently crackled with the passage of time, this box tells a great story while providing the practical option of storing remote controls, coasters, and other essentials of today's home.
