ABOUT PRODUCTID 43060
This Japanese foldable corner shelf from the Meiji period (1868–1912) exemplifies the refined artistry of Oriental export ware crafted for the European market during the height of Japonisme. Made from lightweight exotic wood and coated in deep, glossy black urushi lacquer, the shelf features a decorative form with softly profiled and angular edges characteristic of late 19th-century design. Its surfaces are adorned with hand-painted gold decoration in the maki-e technique: a lush Japanese garden landscape with architectural details and the rare figural motif of two monks engaged in philosophical conversation. The gilded painting displays varied intensity, with additional subtle hues of reddish-brown and muted green, creating a layered chiaroscuro effect. The construction is foldable, with visible brass hinges and one missing stabilizing hook, which does not affect its function when mounted
