19th Century Chinese Red Lacquer Screen, 6 Panel Set

pkversion — Sat, 12 Oct 2024 00:55:12 +0000

Exceptionally decorative set of six 18th century Qing Dynasty Chinese red and gold lacquer panels, originally from a twelve panel screen. Fortunately, both end panels are present. Numbered on the rear 1 – 4 – 5 – 6 – 11 – 12.

At the top of the panels appear images of the Feng-Huang, a phoenix-like bird which is one of the most important creatures in Chinese mythology. This bird image has appeared in Chinese art for over 8000 years, and is a symbol of power, prosperity, and virtue. The Feng-Huang images are surrounded by ornate vegetal raised scrolling in gold.

The golden scrolling design incorporating both animal and vegetal motifs borders the panels. On each panel are detailed palatial scenes of landscape with architecture, as well as images of furniture, flowers and other items of décor. The human characters are shown in various attitudes and groupings, and all have raised faces of bone.

Many symbolic elements are shown, including the small figure of a standing rabbit in the upper third of the second panel. This is “The Moon Rabbit,” (Some Asian and Meso-American cultures see an image resembling a rabbit on the face of the moon, while in other countries a crab, toad, man’s face or woman’s profile might is seen). In Chinese mythology, the rabbit is said to live on the moon, where he uses a mortar to crush ingredients to create the elixir of life for the moon goddess Chang’e.

Areas of some panels show interventions from the past. Recently, some museum-quality restoration and stabilization was done, with excellent results.

Chinese reversible silk needlework in a fine carved hardwood stand circa 1920

pkversion — Fri, 11 Oct 2024 17:43:21 +0000

This most impressive Chinese circular silk needlework Is remarkable as it has been sewn with incredible skill. The front and back are identical in their detail and quality, unlike most examples that can only be viewed from their intended front with rough knots and workings on the reverse.

This fine colourful example is sewn on thin translucent silk and shows a pair of exotic cranes amongst peony flowers with fruit hanging from a tree branch above.

This fine piece of artwork was so highly regarded that it is mounted in an original equally exceptional carved and pierced rotating hardwood display stand which has a lovely mellow faded colour on one side and slightly darker on the other caused by being displayed to the natural sunlight.

This finely detailed stand has been made in sections with sliding pegged joints to assemble. This is a true sign of quality.
