拍品描述
AN IVORY NETSUKE OF A SLEEPING CAT, EDO PERIOD

Japan, late 18th - early 19th century, Edo period (1615-1868)

The cat (neko) is considerably rare in netsuke art. Here, the domestic cat wears a collar and is depicted sleeping serenely on a straw mat. The hairwork and mat are finely incised, the long tail extends over the cat's back. The underside with two good, asymmetrical himotoshi. Stunning patina, especially to underside.

LENGTH 5.3 cm

Condition: With expected surface wear and natural age cracks. With two chips to the base and losses with touch ups in the area between the cat's mouth and tail.
Provenance: From the collection of Felix Tikotin, and thence by descent within the family. Felix Tikotin (1893-1986) was an architect, art collector, and founder of the first Museum of Japanese Art in the Middle East. Born in Glogau, Germany, to a Jewish family, his ancestors had returned with Napoleon from Russia from a town named Tykocin. He grew up in Dresden and after World War I, he traveled to Japan and immediately fell in love with the culture. In April 1927, he opened his own first gallery in Berlin. The entire family survived the holocaust, and in the 1950s Tikotin slowly resumed his activities as a dealer in Japanese art. He became, once again, very successful and prominent, holding exhibitions all over Europe and the United States. When he first visited Israel in 1956, he decided that the major part of his collection belonged in that country. In 1960, the Tikotin Museum of Japanese Art was opened in Haifa.
