拍品描述
PERIODChina, 1736-1795. The cabinet with a hinged top and two doors, each fitted with finely incised gilt-copper fittings decorated with Buddhist symbols and phoenixes. The cabinet is lacquered in black and is meticulously inlaid in precious hardstones including jade, soapstone, malachite, and agate, organic materials such as green stained bone, horn, mother-of-pearl, and wood, as well as glass imitating turquoise and lapis lazuli.Provenance: From a private collection in Southern Germany, acquired before 2000. Condition: Overall remarkably well preserved. Expected wear and traces of use, some inlays lost, and very few others possibly replaced. Some flaking and losses to the lacquer, some with associated touchups. Few natural age cracks, one to the base with an old fill.Weight: 4.2 g Dimensions: Size 38.3 x 36.4 x 28.2 cmThe top features a king fisher perched on lotus, framed by a diaper pattern band of mother-of-pearl, the front panels depicting a palace garden scene with courtiers and ladies seated at long tables in daily pursuits, surrounded by rockwork, banana trees, and precious objects, all below the moon hidden among scrolling clouds. The narrow sides painted in lacquer with birds perched on pomegranate and persimmon branches, inlaid in flat mother-of-pearl, and the back with reeds in a lobed cartouche.The interior of the cover is fitted with a circular mirror framed by two lacquered divinities floating on clouds above crashing waves, and the interior of the panels with floral sprays and further flat inlays of mother-of-pearl all in a gilt frame. The protruding foot painted in florets and butterflies in green and red lacquer. Small cabinets such as this piece were used as dressing cases by both men and women to store toiletries, or they were used on desks for the storage of stationery, writing implements, and seals. Called guanpixiang, or official boxes, their form and construction resemble a cabinet rather than a box, and they were more often made in huanghuali or zitan.This fine cabinet is rather unusual and belongs to a small group of objects inlaid with precious hardstones, stained bone, and mother-of-pearl. The technique of inlaying a wide variety of precious and semi-precious stones and other materials onto wood and lacquer is attributed to the Ming master carver Zhou Zhu, active in Yangzhou during the Jiajing reign.
