Large Framed Japanese Embroidery Dragon Tapestry
Located in Atlanta, GA
An impressive Japanese embroidery tapestry circa 1890s Meiji period, presented with brocade border on linen canvas in a Lucite shadow box. The stunning design features three dragons coiling and flying in the clouds. The high relief technique used to render the dragons using mostly the silver threads gives this piece a tremendous sense of motion. The most auspicious mythological creature in Japan and China, dragons were a very popular motif in textile art. In this particular piece, it is the impressive size, the superb craftsmanship, the profuse use of silver threads and near perfect condition that set it apart. Japanese Meiji textiles were widely exhibited in the west during turn of the 20th century at the international exposition. It was used to showcase the Japanese aesthetics with the techniques at their pinnacle. These expositions solidified the country's images overseas and felled the Japanese craze in the west, which turned out to be a long-lasting influence on the western art. Many pieces were purchased and stayed in the west. It is likely this estate piece was from one of the expositions based on its high quality. For two similar dragon tapestries...

Fine Japanese Lacquered Inro with Inlays by Kajikawa
Located in Atlanta, GA
A Japanese four-case lacquer inro by a member of Kajikawa family circa 19th century (late Edo to early Meiji period). It depicts a nocturnal scenery of a meandering stream surrounded by bush clovers, where a full moon is reflected on the water. It was masterfully decorated in gold and silver maki-e using a combination of techniques including takamakie, togidashi and kirigane as well as aogai (abalone shell) inlays. The stream was set between the slightly elevated banks, adding to this piece a already strong three-dimensional composition. The interior was decorated in gold nashiji. It was signed on the bottom "Kajikawa Zou" (made by Kajikawa and a pot seal centered with "Ei" in Kanji. In one of the compartment, there is a katakana mark, appears to be a name, possibly the owner. Kajikawa clan was one of the most famous lacquer artisanal family established in the 17th century. Many well known members over the generations produced lacquer art in a wide range of formats, but two third were signed only with the family name such as this one. It is therefore not possible to pinpoint the exact author of this piece. Provenance: This inro was purchased as lot 349 in Christie's New York sale Japanese...

Antique Korean Lacquer Coffee Table with Elaborate Inlays
Located in Atlanta, GA
A Korean lacquered wood low table with exotic elaborate inlay work circa 19th century (Joseon Dynasty). The low table, supported by slightly curved legs, was traditionally placed on the floor or bed in as a luxury item in a noble wealthy household. Like Soban, the low profile was meant to be used sitting down on the floor or matt. It is suitable to be used as a coffee table for modern time. With its rectangular form, the prototype was likely from Chinese Kang table. Lacquered in black (with time the color always turned slightly brownish due to oxidation caused by light), the table showcases elaborate inlay work with exotic materials including crushed Mother-of-Pearl, golden tortoise shell, stingray Shagreen and twisted brass wires. The iconic motif in the center is "Dragon and Phoenix Chasing Fire Pearl", an auspicious symbol often used in wedding ceremony. The eyes of the dragon and phoenix were heighted with MOP shells. The horns and beards of the dragon were made of tortoise shell. The textured scale and feature were depicted with Shagreen. The mythological animals are surrounded with clouds formed by inlayed brass wire and islands of crushed MOP. On four corners anchored a square motif each with symbol of Bagua with four trigrams. Impressively, the fine inlay work continued onto the outer border. Buddhism symbols such as fans, pair of chimes, conch, and ribbons were depicted in great details. The aprons are also decorated with brass wire scrolls and various floral motifs in shagreen. The design on this table is of classic motif found in Korea lacquer table...

Antique Korean Wedding Bandaji Chest Joseon Dynasty Original Invoice
Located in Atlanta, GA
One of the most beautiful Korean Bandajis we have had with original patina circa mid-19th century of late Joseon Dynasty. Purchased in Seoul in 1987 and still retains its original hand-written invoice (dated to 1840s). Essentially a Korean drop front half-opening chest, Bandaji was widely used in the household to store family valuables, clothes and beddings. This particular piece on offer was made in Pyongyang area in now North Korea as a wedding chest indicated by the specific auspicious symbols on the metal hardware. Constructed in pearwood, a relatively rare wood type from northern peninsular, which is rather plain and lacks grains but mellowed into a lovely yellow color, the chest was instead sumptuously decorated with nickel-copper (Paktong) plates, hinges, stripes and bosses. Covering much of the entire front of the cabinet, the metal plates were placed with eye-pleasing symmetry pattern. The top row is centered with a large square lock plate with latch and a lock (with key), flanked by a pair of pulls in the bat form (symbol of luck). The middle row has two cloud-form hinges alternate with four large vertical pairs of rectangular hinges. The lower row features a large fish plate (symbol of abundance) flanked by two crane plate...
