About the Item

This is Chinese Calligraphy Brush, specifically featuring a cloisonné handle. The handle is crafted with cloisonné enamel, a decorative technique involving the fusion of colored glass pastes into compartments (cloisons) formed by wires on a metal base, resulting in intricate floral patterns as seen in the image. Used for traditional Chinese calligraphy and Sumi-e painting. In Chinese culture, the calligraphy brush is one of the "Four Treasures of the Study" (along with the inkstone, inkstick, and Xuan paper), essential tools for scholars and artists. The brush bristles are typically made from various animal hairs like goat, wolf, rabbit, or horsehair, chosen for their specific qualities suited for different artistic styles and techniques Size: 2in H x 15in W x 2in D Circa: 1920s Origin: China Material: Copper, Cloisonne Condition: Original finished, hand-crafted, normal age wear.
