Lot 161

Depositories: Comdr A. E. Johnstone (?), no.112'; with a built-in stand and raised again on an associated European stand with chinoiserie decoration, 149cm high overall, the cabinet 88.5cm x 102cm x 53.5cm. (2) Cf. O Impey & C Jörg, Japanese Export Lacquer (1580-1850), pp.130-34 where comparable cabinets are illustrated and discussed. The label at the back refers to Curtiss & Sons, a storehouse opened in the 1860s and first located in Portsmouth, UK, before expanding to the rest of the country. Portsmouth is home to the Royal Navy and the word 'Comdr' is a shortened version of Commander. Commander Johnstone may thus have been a member of the Royal Navy.
