明代珍貴髹黑漆嵌螺鈿松旁鳳凰方盤
Sold for €2,340
including Buyer's Premium
China, 15th-16th century. Of rectangular shape, lacquered in an elegant reddish-brown color, and finely inlaid in mother of pearl overall, at the center with a cartouche depicting a phoenix flying above pine and rockwork, and scrolling ruyi-shaped clouds in the background, surrounded by a cash-diaper pattern with stylized flowerheads. The sides decorated with a band of stylized floral heads borne on leafy stems, within a line border. The reverse also with stylized flowerheads.
Provenance: From a noted private collection in Pennsylvania, USA.
Condition: Excellent condition commensurate with age, with some old wear, few tiny losses to the inlays, minor flaking to lacquer, few minuscule nicks here and there.
Weight: 499.3 g
Dimensions: Size 35.4 x 26.5 cm
Literature comparison: The style of the mother-of-pearl inlay on the present tray points to a 15th-16th century date. Compare the cash pattern and pine needle inlay in a tray, dated 14th-15th century, illustrated by J. M. White, Masterpieces of Chinese Lacquer from the Mike Healy Collection, Honolulu, 2005, pl. 8. See the cartouche shape on a tiered box and cover, dated 15th-16th century, illustrated in 2000 Years of Chinese Lacquer, Hong Kong, 1993, pl. 92. See the leafy scroll on the reverse of a tray, with a Wanli mark and of the period, illustrated by R. Krahl and B. Morgan, From Innovation to Conformity: Chinese Lacquer from the 13th to the 16th centuries, Bluett & Sons, London, 1989, pl. 32.
