About the Item

A fine pair of Japanese hand cast gold gilt bronze Mandarin Duck screen holders with highly detailed plumage, late Meiji period 19th century. An original signed wooden box tomobako is included.

Today these older works of art still serve as wonderful collectible objects and as beautifully conceived decorative accents only the Japanese artisans can create.

Dimensions: 3.25 inches high and 5 inches long the original kiri wooden box is signed and is included as part of this important collection Handmade, hand cast, hand gilded. Only one pair. Provenance: Old Kyoto collection. History of Mandarin Duck: The mandarin duck (Aix galericulata) is a perching duck species found in East Asia. It is closely related to the North American wood duck, the only other member of the genus Aix.

They mate for life and remain committed to one mate the rest of their lives. Lifetime guarantee of authenticity: All of our Asian works of art come with our Lifetime Authenticity Guarantee.
