A guide for this piece: about $1,426, based on the 10% US charge on the declared value of goods made in Japan.

The final figure is set by US Customs and depends on where the piece was made and the kind of object it is. Many antiques over a century old carry no ordinary duty; most jewellery and leather goods add a single-digit rate.

With EMS, any charge is collected by your postal service on delivery. For pieces of significant value we can often arrange duties prepaid before dispatch.

A Casaque watch box in mahogany, its lid inlaid in leather marquetry with the Félin dans un Jardin Mexicain scene in Bleu de Malte and earth tones, near new.

The Piece

The lid is a picture made of leather: a feline crossing a garden of flat coloured walls and stylised plants, each colour a separate piece of Evercolor or Epsom calfskin cut to meet its neighbour. It is close to unused, its corners showing only faint storage marks.

Inside, a suede lining holds compartments and a removable tray, and the box locks with its key; its own Hermès box comes with it. Closed on a desk, the lid is the whole point: a cat in a walled garden, drawn in leather.
