About the Item

A large, fine quality, and world class Japanese Meiji period mixed metal plaque with Shakudo-inlay, silver-inlay, gold-inlay, copper-inlay, and patina, attributed to the famous Suzuki Chokichi (Kaka). This plaque is of a very large size, however, it still retains its impressive quality and craftsmanship. The plaque has a gorgeous three-dimensional subject of a beautiful bird perched on a flowering stem. Around the seated bird are more flowering stems with open flower heads, flowering buds, and small butterflies looking to drink the nectar of the flowers. The three-dimensional aspects of the plaque are made of shakudo, gold-inlay, silver-inlay, copper-inlay, and the metal ground has been patinated with a dark black patina, giving a rich luxurious feel to the plaque. The bird, flowers, leaves, butterfly, and other aspects of the plaque are all exceptionally hand-made, with hand-chiseling, hand-chasing, and hand-finished with the finest detail imaginable. The outer border of the plaque is fitted with the Original rectangular hand-carved wooden frame. Japan, Circa: Meiji Period Suzuki Chokichi is recognized as one of the leading metal workers of the Meiji period , he was instrumental in running the Kiritsu Kosho Kaisha (first manufacturing company) for the Japanese government between 1873-1891 , his works are now scarce and thus highly prized by collectors worldwide, most of the larger pieces can now only be found in museums and important collections , including the V&A  and the Dr. Naseer Khalili collection of Meiji period works of art.
